Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Leda E Il Cigno (Leda And The Swan) by Bahman Mohasses was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 45,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 252,000.00 (€ 279,824.50). Admittedly, works by Bahman Mohasses have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Minotauro sulla riva del mare in March 2021 with an auction result of GBP 1,007,200.00 (€ 1,183,200.55).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Leda E Il Cigno (Leda And The Swan) von Bahman Mohasses im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 45.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 252.000,00 (€ 279.824,50) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bahman Mohasses auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Minotauro sulla riva del mare im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.007.200,00 (€ 1.183.200,55).
