Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Corniche, Beirut from Sombres by Fouad Elkoury was sold in the Photographs auction at Phillips in London in May 2009. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,149.94). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fouad Elkoury - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lebanese sherihan (From The Egyptian Cinema Series), which sold at auction in November 2017 for USD 18,750.00 (€ 15,758.95).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Corniche, Beirut from Sombres von Fouad Elkoury wurde im Mai 2009 in der Auktion Photographs bei Phillips in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.149,94) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Fouad Elkoury mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Lebanese sherihan (From The Egyptian Cinema Series) beobachtet, die im November 2017 für USD 18.750,00 (€ 15.758,95) versteigert wurde.
