Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Swanrider No. 3 by Parastou Forouhar was auctioned at Christies in Dubai in April 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,750.00 (€ 3,607.23). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Parastou Forouhar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Friday in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 61,000.00 (€ 42,162.01).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Swanrider No. 3 von Parastou Forouhar im April 2013 bei Christies in Dubai versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.750,00 (€ 3.607,23) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Parastou Forouhar erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Friday im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 61.000,00 (€ 42.162,01).
