In November this year Christies in Paris held the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, which included the work Eyes on me by Hassan Hajjaj. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,340.00 (€ 13,140.59), 62% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hassan Hajjaj - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Master Cobra Mansa, which sold at auction in May this year for USD 32,760.00 (€ 30,749.01).

Im November diesen Jahres führte Christies in Paris die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Eyes on me von Hassan Hajjaj zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 11.340,00 (€ 13.140,59) und damit 62% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Hassan Hajjaj mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Master Cobra Mansa beobachtet, die im Mai diesen Jahres für USD 32.760,00 (€ 30.749,01) versteigert wurde.
