A top price for Irfan Onurmen - as previously expected
In March 2009 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art Turkish, which included the work Soldier'S Portrait (From The New Baghdad Museum Installation) by Irfan Onurmen. The price achieved of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,175.25) 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, Soldier'S Portrait (From The New Baghdad Museum Installation) is the most expensive artwork by Irfan Onurmen that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im März 2009 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Turkish durch, in der auch die Arbeit Soldier'S Portrait (From The New Baghdad Museum Installation) von Irfan Onurmen zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.175,25) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Soldier'S Portrait (From The New Baghdad Museum Installation) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Irfan Onurmen, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
