This artwork by Hamed Ewais achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2020. In the Modern & Contemporary Middle Eastern Art auction, the work Dr Mostafa Sweif sold for GBP 47,500.00 (€ 53,026.03) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hamed Ewais achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Al Aabour (The Crossing Of The Suez Canal) in March 2016 with an auction result of USD 605,000.00 (€ 531,167.69).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 90 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Hamed Ewais erzielte im November 2020 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Middle Eastern Art wurde die Arbeit Dr Mostafa Sweif für GBP 47.500,00 (€ 53.026,03) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hamed Ewais erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Al Aabour (The Crossing Of The Suez Canal) im März 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 605.000,00 (€ 531.167,69).
