A top price for Elias Zayat - as previously expected
In March 2016 Christies in Dubai held the auction Modern & Contemporary Art, which included the work Awdat Al Shahid (Return Of The Martyr) by Elias Zayat. The auction ended at the price of USD 50,000.00 (€ 43,898.16), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 40,000.00 – 50,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Awdat Al Shahid (Return Of The Martyr) is the most expensive artwork by Elias Zayat that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im März 2016 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Awdat Al Shahid (Return Of The Martyr) von Elias Zayat zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 43.898,16) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 50.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Awdat Al Shahid (Return Of The Martyr) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Elias Zayat, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
