A top price for Madiha Omar - as previously expected
In April 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction 20th Century Art/ Middle East, which included the work Iraqi the Flying Saucers by Madiha Omar. It changed hands for a price of GBP 37,500.00 (€ 44,531.90) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Iraqi the Flying Saucers is the most expensive artwork by Madiha Omar that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im April 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 20th Century Art/ Middle East durch, in der auch die Arbeit Iraqi the Flying Saucers von Madiha Omar zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 37.500,00 (€ 44.531,90) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 40.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Iraqi the Flying Saucers das teuerste Kunstwerk von Madiha Omar, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
