Upper estimate price exceeded by 70 %.
The work Paris Boulevard by Jewad Selim was auctioned at Bonhams in January this year. It achieved a price of GBP 7,650.00 (€ 8,682.87), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 70%. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 70 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Paris Boulevard von Jewad Selim kam im Januar diesen Jahres bei Bonhams zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 7.650,00 (€ 8.682,87) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 70%. 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).
