1. May - 16. May 2023
Estimate: 50.000 - 60.000 USD
Price realised: 63.000 USD
MOHAMED MELEHI (MOROCCAN, 1936-2020) Moucharabieh, Gray on Black signed, titled, inscribed and dated 'MELEHI 2020 Moucharabieh OB1 Grey on black' (on the reverse) acrylic on canvas 59 x 47 1 ⁄ 4 in. (150 x 120cm.) Painted in 2020

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In May this year Christies in Dubai held the auction Modern & Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, which included the work Moucharabieh, Gray on Black by Mohamed Melehi. Here, the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 63,000.00 (€ 59,132.72). Admittedly, works by Mohamed Melehi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Blacks in March 2020 with an auction result of GBP 399,000.00 (€ 450,552.72).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Mai diesen Jahres führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Middle Eastern Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Moucharabieh, Gray on Black von Mohamed Melehi zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 63.000,00 (€ 59.132,72) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mohamed Melehi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Blacks im März 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 399.000,00 (€ 450.552,72).
