Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work American a Collection Of Thirty-Three Letters By Kahlil Gibran Written To Marie El-Khoury, From 1908 To 1920 by Kahlil Gibran was auctioned at Sothebys in Dubai in November 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 28,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 100,000.00 (€ 84,047.74). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Kahlil Gibran; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait Of Amin Rihani sold at auction in October 2018 with the realized price of GBP 92,500.00 (€ 104,311.46).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit American a Collection Of Thirty-Three Letters By Kahlil Gibran Written To Marie El-Khoury, From 1908 To 1920 von Kahlil Gibran im November 2017 bei Sothebys in Dubai versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 28.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 100.000,00 (€ 84.047,74) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Kahlil Gibran; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Portrait Of Amin Rihani im Oktober 2018 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 92.500,00 (€ 104.311,46).
