Auction result well in line with expectations
The work "A Boy as Pierrot" after Jean-Honoré Fragonard by Jewad Selim was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including Baghdadiyat Part IIIThe Finale auction at Bonhams in London in November last year. The price achieved of GBP 19,125.00 (€ 22,161.51) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jewad Selim achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Good and Evil, An Abstraction in November 2021 with an auction result of GBP 838,750.00 (€ 984,771.42).
