A top price for Fouad Kamel
When the work Egyptian untitled (The Drinker) by Fouad Kamel was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 28,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 93,750.00 (€ 111,329.74). This high result makes Egyptian untitled (The Drinker) the most expensive artwork by Fouad Kamel that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Fouad Kamel
Als die Arbeit Egyptian untitled (The Drinker) von Fouad Kamel im April 2017 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 28.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 93.750,00 (€ 111.329,74) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Egyptian untitled (The Drinker) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Fouad Kamel, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
