Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Nja Mahdaoui could be acquired at Bonhams in London in December 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art Online Sale auction, the work Calligram II changed hands for GBP 3,125.00 (€ 3,481.53) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nja Mahdaoui achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ikhtilej in October 2014 with an auction result of USD 341,000.00 (€ 272,146.85).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Nja Mahdaoui konnte im Dezember 2018 bei Bonhams in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art Online Sale wechselte die Arbeit Calligram II für GBP 3.125,00 (€ 3.481,53) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nja Mahdaoui erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ikhtilej im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 341.000,00 (€ 272.146,85).
