Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Image of Imagination II by Bahman Jalali was auctioned at Bonhams in London in December 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,800.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 500.00 (€ 557.04). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bahman Jalali achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Image on Imagination in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 20,000.00 (€ 13,823.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Image of Imagination II von Bahman Jalali im Dezember 2018 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.800,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 500,00 (€ 557,04) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bahman Jalali erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Image on Imagination im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 20.000,00 (€ 13.823,61).
