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).
