In March 2018 Christies in Dubai held the auction Dubai: Post War and Contemporary Art, which included the work The Dancer by Hafidh al-Droubi. The »bidding war« ended at USD 35,000.00 (€ 28,409.09), 40% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hafidh al-Droubi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Kadhimain Alley, which sold at auction in November 2021 for GBP 52,500.00 (€ 61,639.94).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 40 % übertroffen
Im März 2018 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Dubai: Post War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Dancer von Hafidh al-Droubi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 28.409,09) und damit 40% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Hafidh al-Droubi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Kadhimain Alley beobachtet, die im November 2021 für GBP 52.500,00 (€ 61.639,94) versteigert wurde.
