Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2011 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art / Arab & Iranian, which included the work Work Lit Up by Ebrahim Olfat. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 4,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,063.23). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ebrahim Olfat - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in October 2012 for USD 14,375.00 (€ 11,093.53).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2011 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art / Arab & Iranian durch, in der auch die Arbeit Work Lit Up von Ebrahim Olfat zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 4.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.063,23) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Ebrahim Olfat mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im Oktober 2012 für USD 14.375,00 (€ 11.093,53) versteigert wurde.
