Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including Baghdadiyat Part IIIraqi Masterpieces from the Jawdat, Madhloom and Selim Collections, which included the work Wasitiyat by Ghazi Al Saudi. The price achieved of GBP 5,100.00 (€ 5,987.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ghazi Al Saudi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Barber in November 2021 with an auction result of GBP 52,500.00 (€ 61,639.94).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including Baghdadiyat Part IIIraqi Masterpieces from the Jawdat, Madhloom and Selim Collections durch, in der auch die Arbeit Wasitiyat von Ghazi Al Saudi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.100,00 (€ 5.987,88) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ghazi Al Saudi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Barber im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 52.500,00 (€ 61.639,94).
