Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including Baghdadiyat Part IIIraqi Masterpieces from the Jawdat, Madhloom and Selim Collections, which included the work Reclining Nude by Mahmoud Moussa. It changed hands for a price of GBP 19,000.00 (€ 22,307.79) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mahmoud Moussa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Egyptian Woman, which sold at auction in March 2016 for USD 52,500.00 (€ 46,093.06).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including Baghdadiyat Part IIIraqi Masterpieces from the Jawdat, Madhloom and Selim Collections durch, in der auch die Arbeit Reclining Nude von Mahmoud Moussa zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 19.000,00 (€ 22.307,79) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Mahmoud Moussa mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Egyptian Woman beobachtet, die im März 2016 für USD 52.500,00 (€ 46.093,06) versteigert wurde.
