Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2019 Christies in London held the auction Middle Eastern, Modern and Contemporary Art, which included the work Abstract Composition in Turquoise and Blue by Jafar Rouhbakhsh. The price achieved of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 28,998.21) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 22,000.00 – 28,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jafar Rouhbakhsh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 133,000.00 (€ 85,431.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Middle Eastern, Modern and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Abstract Composition in Turquoise and Blue von Jafar Rouhbakhsh zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 25.000,00 (€ 28.998,21) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 22.000,00 – 28.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jafar Rouhbakhsh 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 April 2008 für USD 133.000,00 (€ 85.431,65) versteigert wurde.
