Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2008 Christies in Dubai held the auction International Modern and Contemporary Art, which included this untitled work by Faramarz Pilaram. The price achieved of USD 122,500.00 (€ 96,593.60) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Faramarz Pilaram - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 385,000.00 (€ 247,302.16).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2008 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion International Modern and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Faramarz Pilaram zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 122.500,00 (€ 96.593,60) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Faramarz Pilaram 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 April 2008 für USD 385.000,00 (€ 247.302,16) versteigert wurde.
