This artwork by Aydin Aghdashloo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Dubai in April 2008. In the International Modern and Contemporary Art auction, the work Falling Angels/Anno 1373 sold for USD 145,000.00 (€ 93,139.77) - well above the upper estimate of USD 70,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Aydin Aghdashloo; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Memories of Destruction: The Years of Fire and Snow sold at auction in October 2007 with the realized price of USD 145,000.00 (€ 100,221.18).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Aydin Aghdashloo erzielte im April 2008 bei Christies in Dubai einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion International Modern and Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Falling Angels/Anno 1373 für USD 145.000,00 (€ 93.139,77) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 70.000,00. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Aydin Aghdashloo; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Memories of Destruction: The Years of Fire and Snow im Oktober 2007 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 145.000,00 (€ 100.221,18).
