Despite a disappointment, a good price for Mansour Farag
When the work The Fellaha's Burden by Mansour Farag was auctioned at Bonhams in London in June 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 12,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 4,437.50 (€ 4,988.41). Despite this disappointing result, The Fellaha's Burden is the most expensive artwork by Mansour Farag that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Mansour Farag
Als die Arbeit The Fellaha's Burden von Mansour Farag im Juni 2019 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 4.437,50 (€ 4.988,41) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The Fellaha's Burden das teuerste Kunstwerk von Mansour Farag, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
