This artwork by Farghali Abdel Hafiz achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in August 2021. In the Middle Eastern Art Online Sale including works from the Saatchi Collection auction, the work Couple & Horse sold for GBP 4,462.50 (€ 5,198.81) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Farghali Abdel Hafiz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work HATSHEPSUT in October 2008 with an auction result of GBP 43,250.00 (€ 55,128.23).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Farghali Abdel Hafiz erzielte im August 2021 bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Middle Eastern Art Online Sale including works from the Saatchi Collection wurde die Arbeit Couple & Horse für GBP 4.462,50 (€ 5.198,81) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.500,00.

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit HATSHEPSUT im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 43.250,00 (€ 55.128,23).
