Despite a disappointment, a good price for Ali Talib

When the work Qanber Agha by Ali Talib was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,096.14). Despite this disappointing result, Qanber Agha is the most expensive artwork by Ali Talib that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Ali Talib

Als die Arbeit Qanber Agha von Ali Talib im Oktober 2018 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.096,14) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Qanber Agha das teuerste Kunstwerk von Ali Talib, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
