A top price for Aref Al Rayyes - as previously expected
In March 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Middle Eastern Art Online Sale, which included the work Visions of the Third World by Aref Al Rayyes. The price achieved of GBP 22,750.00 (€ 26,725.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Visions of the Third World is the most expensive artwork by Aref Al Rayyes that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im März 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Middle Eastern Art Online Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Visions of the Third World von Aref Al Rayyes zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 22.750,00 (€ 26.725,39) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Visions of the Third World das teuerste Kunstwerk von Aref Al Rayyes, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
