Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Lottatori II by Bahman Mohasses was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 277,200.00 (€ 325,638.59). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bahman Mohasses - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Minotauro sulla riva del mare, which sold at auction in March 2021 for GBP 1,007,200.00 (€ 1,183,200.55).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Lottatori II von Bahman Mohasses im März 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 277.200,00 (€ 325.638,59) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Bahman Mohasses mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Minotauro sulla riva del mare beobachtet, die im März 2021 für GBP 1.007.200,00 (€ 1.183.200,55) versteigert wurde.
