Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Silver Wave by Mohamed Melehi was auctioned at Bonhams in London in May this year. It achieved a price of GBP 61,360.00 (€ 71,392.77), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 23%. 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

Die Arbeit Silver Wave von Mohamed Melehi kam im Mai diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 61.360,00 (€ 71.392,77) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 23%. 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).
