Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Ismail Shammout achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in October 2019. In the Middle Eastern, Modern and Contemporary Art auction, the work Untitled (from the Tall Al Zaatar series) sold for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,949.01) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ismail Shammout achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Al- Tariq (The Way) in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 150,000.00 (€ 173,989.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ismail Shammout erzielte im Oktober 2019 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Middle Eastern, Modern and Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Untitled (from the Tall Al Zaatar series) für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 15.949,01) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ismail Shammout erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Al- Tariq (The Way) im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 150.000,00 (€ 173.989,24).
