In April 2011 Christies in Dubai held the auction Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art, which included this untitled work by Bita Vakili. The »bidding war« ended at USD 26,250.00 (€ 17,711.36), 64% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Bita Vakili; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Dreaming New York sold at auction in April 2012 with the realized price of USD 45,000.00 (€ 34,016.18).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 64 % übertroffen
Im April 2011 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Bita Vakili zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 26.250,00 (€ 17.711,36) und damit 64% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Bita Vakili; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Dreaming New York im April 2012 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 45.000,00 (€ 34.016,18).
