Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Encounter in the Prison Cell by Ismail Shammout was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2019. The price achieved of GBP 52,500.00 (€ 60,896.23) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ismail Shammout - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Al- Tariq (The Way), which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 150,000.00 (€ 173,989.24).
