Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Middle Eastern Art Online Sale including works from the Saatchi Collection, which included the work Couple In Venice by Farghali Abdel Hafiz. The price achieved of GBP 1,275.00 (€ 1,485.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Middle Eastern Art Online Sale including works from the Saatchi Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Couple In Venice von Farghali Abdel Hafiz zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.275,00 (€ 1.485,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Farghali Abdel Hafiz erzielen. 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).
