Upper estimate price exceeded by 40 %.
In February last year Bonhams in London held the auction Middle Eastern Art Online Sale, which included the work Femme assise et accoudee sur une chaise by Mahmoud Saïd. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 7,012.50 (€ 8,383.89), 40% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mahmoud Saïd achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Whirling Dervishes in October 2010 with an auction result of USD 2,546,500.00 (€ 1,832,805.53).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 40 % übertroffen
Im Februar letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Middle Eastern Art Online Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Femme assise et accoudee sur une chaise von Mahmoud Saïd zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 7.012,50 (€ 8.383,89) und damit 40% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mahmoud Saïd erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Whirling Dervishes im Oktober 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.546.500,00 (€ 1.832.805,53).
