Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Where Souls Dwell IV by Laila Shawa was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Arab,Iranian and Turkish Art Part II auction at Christies in Dubai in October 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,195.23) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Laila Shawa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Children of War, Children of Peace, which sold at auction in February 2007 for USD 38,400.00 (€ 29,024.94).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Where Souls Dwell IV von Laila Shawa wurde im Oktober 2013 in der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Arab,Iranian and Turkish Art Part II bei Christies in Dubai versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.195,23) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Laila Shawa mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Children of War, Children of Peace beobachtet, die im Februar 2007 für USD 38.400,00 (€ 29.024,94) versteigert wurde.
