Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April 2010 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art/Turkish, which included the work Ciftci Cukurdadir (The Farmer Is In The Hole) by Mehmet Güleryüz. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 35,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 39,650.00 (€ 45,629.39). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mehmet Güleryüz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Iki Yaka (The Two Banks), which sold at auction in April 2012 for GBP 97,250.00 (€ 119,274.42).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April 2010 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art/Turkish durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ciftci Cukurdadir (The Farmer Is In The Hole) von Mehmet Güleryüz zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 35.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 39.650,00 (€ 45.629,39) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Mehmet Güleryüz mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Iki Yaka (The Two Banks) beobachtet, die im April 2012 für GBP 97.250,00 (€ 119.274,42) versteigert wurde.
