Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Egarements (Uzlat Al-Dhabab) by Assadour was sold in the International Modern and Contemporary Art auction at Christies in Dubai in April 2008. The result of USD 5,000.00 (€ 3,211.72) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 10,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Assadour achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lebanese la Ville (The Town) in April 2016 with an auction result of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 41,544.66).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Egarements (Uzlat Al-Dhabab) von Assadour wurde im April 2008 in der Auktion International Modern and Contemporary Art bei Christies in Dubai versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 5.000,00 (€ 3.211,72) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 10.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Assadour erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lebanese la Ville (The Town) im April 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 41.544,66).
