In October 2007 Christies in Dubai held the auction International Modern and Contemporary Art, which included the work Al-Badiya (The Desert) by Ismael Al Sheikhly. The »bidding war« ended at USD 25,000.00 (€ 17,279.51), 67% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ismael Al Sheikhly - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in October 2016 for USD 68,750.00 (€ 62,716.66).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2007 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion International Modern and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Al-Badiya (The Desert) von Ismael Al Sheikhly zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 17.279,51) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Ismael Al Sheikhly mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im Oktober 2016 für USD 68.750,00 (€ 62.716,66) versteigert wurde.
