A top price for Hannibal Srouji - as previously expected

The work Gates by Hannibal Srouji was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2011. The price achieved of GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,913.01) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Gates is the most expensive artwork by Hannibal Srouji that we have observed at auctions so far.
