Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Abstraction by Jewad Selim was auctioned at Bonhams in London in February last year. It changed hands for a price of GBP 4,080.00 (€ 4,877.90) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 2,500.00 – 4,500.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Abstraction von Jewad Selim kam im Februar letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 4.080,00 (€ 4.877,90) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 4.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jewad Selim erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Good and Evil, An Abstraction im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 838.750,00 (€ 984.771,42).
