Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2016 Sothebys in London held the auction 20th Century Art/ Middle East, which included the work Iranianuntitled by Behjat Sadr. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,785.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Behjat Sadr achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 96,250.00 (€ 111,643.10).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2016 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 20th Century Art/ Middle East durch, in der auch die Arbeit Iranianuntitled von Behjat Sadr zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.785,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Behjat Sadr erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 96.250,00 (€ 111.643,10).
