Auction result well in line with expectations
In November this year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, which included the work Study for Jeddah Airport by Mohamed Melehi. The price achieved of GBP 19,200.00 (€ 22,248.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mohamed Melehi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Blacks in March 2020 with an auction result of GBP 399,000.00 (€ 450,552.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study for Jeddah Airport von Mohamed Melehi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 19.200,00 (€ 22.248,62) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mohamed Melehi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Blacks im März 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 399.000,00 (€ 450.552,72).
