Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Lebanese fighters by Ayman Baalbaki was sold in the 20th Century Art / Middle East auction at Sothebys in London in April 2016. The price achieved of GBP 60,000.00 (€ 76,697.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ayman Baalbaki - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ya’Illahi (Dear Lord), which sold at auction in April 2013 for USD 377,000.00 (€ 286,300.12).
