Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Kopf by Marwan was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2021. The price achieved of GBP 63,000.00 (€ 74,637.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Marwan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Kopf., which sold at auction in June 2015 for EUR 262,500.00.
