Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Face by Ismail Fattah was auctioned at Bonhams in London in May this year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 35,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 35,840.00 (€ 41,700.08). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ismail Fattah - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in October 2015 for USD 173,000.00 (€ 156,674.52).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Face von Ismail Fattah kam im Mai diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion.

Für andere Arbeiten von Ismail Fattah 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 2015 für USD 173.000,00 (€ 156.674,52) versteigert wurde.
