A top price for Aydin Aghdashloo
When the work Memories of Destruction: The Years of Fire and Snow by Aydin Aghdashloo was auctioned at Christies in Dubai in October 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 145,000.00 (€ 100,221.18). This high result makes Memories of Destruction: The Years of Fire and Snow the most expensive artwork by Aydin Aghdashloo that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Aydin Aghdashloo
Als die Arbeit Memories of Destruction: The Years of Fire and Snow von Aydin Aghdashloo im Oktober 2007 bei Christies in Dubai versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 145.000,00 (€ 100.221,18) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Memories of Destruction: The Years of Fire and Snow zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Aydin Aghdashloo, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
