Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Painting - I by Mohammad Kibria was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 32,500.00 (€ 29,802.84). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Mohammad Kibria; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Untitled (Painting in Black, Gray and Green and Brown) sold at auction in September 2018 with the realized price of USD 52,500.00 (€ 45,172.95).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Painting - I von Mohammad Kibria im September 2019 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 32.500,00 (€ 29.802,84) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Mohammad Kibria; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Untitled (Painting in Black, Gray and Green and Brown) im September 2018 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 52.500,00 (€ 45.172,95).
