Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Poetry of Hafez by Azra Aghighi Bakhshayeshi was sold in the Contemporary Discoveries auction at Sothebys in London in May last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,142.00 (€ 2,519.86) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Azra Aghighi Bakhshayeshi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chahar So (Mecca) in November 2021 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 32,287.59).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Poetry of Hafez von Azra Aghighi Bakhshayeshi wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Discoveries bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.142,00 (€ 2.519,86) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Azra Aghighi Bakhshayeshi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Chahar So (Mecca) im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 32.287,59).
