Sold at the upper estimate price
In April 2010 Christies in Dubai held the auction International Modern & Contemporary Art, Including Masterpieces from The Collection of Dr. Mohammed Said Farsi, which included the work Foule Noire by Mahjoub Ben Bella. The auction ended at the price of USD 30,000.00 (€ 22,553.00), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 25,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mahjoub Ben Bella - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled , which sold at auction in April 2015 for USD 68,750.00 (€ 61,592.90).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im April 2010 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion International Modern & Contemporary Art, Including Masterpieces from The Collection of Dr. Mohammed Said Farsi durch, in der auch die Arbeit Foule Noire von Mahjoub Ben Bella zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 22.553,00) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 30.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Mahjoub Ben Bella mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled beobachtet, die im April 2015 für USD 68.750,00 (€ 61.592,90) versteigert wurde.
