Auction result well in line with expectations
In November this year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, which included the work Four Women by Faik Hassan. It changed hands for a price of GBP 48,640.00 (€ 56,363.18) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 25,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Faik Hassan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Baghdadiyat, which sold at auction in May this year for GBP 190,900.00 (€ 222,113.42).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Four Women von Faik Hassan zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 48.640,00 (€ 56.363,18) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 25.000,00 – 50.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Faik Hassan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Baghdadiyat beobachtet, die im Mai diesen Jahres für GBP 190.900,00 (€ 222.113,42) versteigert wurde.
