Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Unconscious (From the Illusion in Tehran series) by Alireza Fani was auctioned at Christies in Dubai in October 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 6,875.00 (€ 4,929.38). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alireza Fani - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Adaptation (From The Illusion In Tehran Series), which sold at auction in October 2010 for USD 21,250.00 (€ 15,294.37).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Unconscious (From the Illusion in Tehran series) von Alireza Fani im Oktober 2011 bei Christies in Dubai versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 6.875,00 (€ 4.929,38) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Alireza Fani mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Adaptation (From The Illusion In Tehran Series) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2010 für USD 21.250,00 (€ 15.294,37) versteigert wurde.
