Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Farhad Moshiri could be acquired at Christies in London in November last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, Part I auction, the work First Snow 3C changed hands for GBP 42,000.00 (€ 48,668.41) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Farhad Moshiri achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Secret Garden in April 2013 with an auction result of USD 987,750.00 (€ 750,113.91).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Farhad Moshiri konnte im November letzten Jahres bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, Part I wechselte die Arbeit First Snow 3C für GBP 42.000,00 (€ 48.668,41) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Farhad Moshiri erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Secret Garden im April 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 987.750,00 (€ 750.113,91).
