A top price for Hala Matta - as previously expected
In November 2020 Christies in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, which included the work Playtime Totems A & B by Hala Matta. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,790.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Playtime Totems A & B is the most expensive artwork by Hala Matta that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Middle Eastern Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Playtime Totems A & B von Hala Matta zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.790,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Playtime Totems A & B das teuerste Kunstwerk von Hala Matta, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
