A top price for Najat Makki
When the work What Happens Behind Closed Doors by Najat Makki was auctioned at Christies in Dubai in October 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 63,400.00 (€ 43,820.85). This high result makes What Happens Behind Closed Doors the most expensive artwork by Najat Makki that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Najat Makki
Als die Arbeit What Happens Behind Closed Doors von Najat Makki im Oktober 2007 bei Christies in Dubai versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 63.400,00 (€ 43.820,85) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht What Happens Behind Closed Doors zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Najat Makki, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
