In March 2009 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art Turkish, which included the work Haydarpasa (From The Places Series) by Ahmet Elhan. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 9,750.00 (€ 10,513.91), 39% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Ahmet Elhan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Eski Camii III (Old mosque III) in October 2011 with an auction result of USD 80,500.00 (€ 57,718.51).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen

Im März 2009 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Turkish durch, in der auch die Arbeit Haydarpasa (From The Places Series) von Ahmet Elhan zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 9.750,00 (€ 10.513,91) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ahmet Elhan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Eski Camii III (Old mosque III) im Oktober 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 80.500,00 (€ 57.718,51).
