A top price for Bedri Baykam - as previously expected

The work The Split Of The Roads by Bedri Baykam was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 40,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 49,250.00 (€ 56,677.12) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Split Of The Roads is the most expensive artwork by Bedri Baykam that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit The Split Of The Roads von Bedri Baykam kam im April 2010 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 49.250,00 (€ 56.677,12) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Split Of The Roads das teuerste Kunstwerk von Bedri Baykam, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
