This artwork by Paul Guiragossian achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Paris in November this year. In the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art auction, the work Chuchotement (Whispers) sold for GBP 119,700.00 (€ 138,706.27) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paul Guiragossian - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work La Lutte De L'Existence, which sold at auction in October 2013 for USD 605,000.00 (€ 445,049.29).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Paul Guiragossian erzielte im November diesen Jahres bei Christies in Paris einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art wurde die Arbeit Chuchotement (Whispers) für GBP 119.700,00 (€ 138.706,27) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 60.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Paul Guiragossian mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit La Lutte De L'Existence beobachtet, die im Oktober 2013 für USD 605.000,00 (€ 445.049,29) versteigert wurde.
