Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Kadhim Haider achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in May this year. In the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art auction, the work Untitled (The Epic of the Martyr series) sold for GBP 35,840.00 (€ 41,700.08) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kadhim Haider achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Al Qamar in May this year with an auction result of GBP 635,400.00 (€ 739,292.13).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

In der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art wurde die Arbeit Untitled (The Epic of the Martyr series) für GBP 35.840,00 (€ 41.700,08) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00.
