Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Every one crouching and bored and trying to exit while politics is playing in the background by Khaled Hafez was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in April this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 2,772.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Khaled Hafez achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tomb Sonata In Three Military Movements II in April 2013 with an auction result of USD 68,750.00 (€ 52,209.90).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Every one crouching and bored and trying to exit while politics is playing in the background von Khaled Hafez im April diesen Jahres bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 2.772,00 den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Khaled Hafez erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tomb Sonata In Three Military Movements II im April 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 68.750,00 (€ 52.209,90).
