Auction result well in line with expectations
In November last year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including Baghdadiyat Part IIIThe Finale, which included the work Market Scene by Hafiz Drubi. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 10,837.50 (€ 12,558.19) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Hafiz Drubi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Family in May this year with an auction result of GBP 51,200.00 (€ 59,571.54).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including Baghdadiyat Part IIIThe Finale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Market Scene von Hafiz Drubi zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 10.837,50 (€ 12.558,19) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hafiz Drubi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Family im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 51.200,00 (€ 59.571,54).
