Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work Sleeping Prince by Kahlil Gibran was worth GBP 27,720.00 (€ 30,780.70) to a buyer in October 2020. This price was achieved in the auction 20th Century Art / Middle East at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 4,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kahlil Gibran - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Amin Rihani, which sold at auction in October 2018 for GBP 92,500.00 (€ 104,311.46).
