Upper estimate price exceeded by 96 %.

This artwork by Mahmoud Sabri achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in October 2021. In the 20th Century Art / Middle East auction, the work Four Faces sold for GBP 35,280.00 (€ 41,797.27) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mahmoud Sabri achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Grief in October 2017 with an auction result of GBP 668,750.00 (€ 762,505.90).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 96 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Mahmoud Sabri erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century Art / Middle East wurde die Arbeit Four Faces für GBP 35.280,00 (€ 41.797,27) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 18.000,00.

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Grief im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 668.750,00 (€ 762.505,90).
