Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2012 Christies in Dubai held the auction Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art Part II, which included the work The Milky Way 2 by Gholamhossein Nami. The price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 48,232.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gholamhossein Nami - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Galaxy, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 157,000.00 (€ 100,847.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2012 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art Part II durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Milky Way 2 von Gholamhossein Nami zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 48.232,75) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Gholamhossein Nami mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Galaxy beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 157.000,00 (€ 100.847,89) versteigert wurde.
