Auction result well in line with expectations
The work H. T. M. (Human, Time and Machine) by Aref El Rayess was auctioned at Christies in Dubai in October 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 49,282.45) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Aref El Rayess - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Jeddah (Al Shatek el Hadi) (The Calm Shore), which sold at auction in March 2015 for USD 137,000.00 (€ 127,548.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit H. T. M. (Human, Time and Machine) von Aref El Rayess kam im Oktober 2008 bei Christies in Dubai zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 49.282,45) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Aref El Rayess mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Jeddah (Al Shatek el Hadi) (The Calm Shore) beobachtet, die im März 2015 für USD 137.000,00 (€ 127.548,65) versteigert wurde.
