A top price for Rafa al-Nasiri - as previously expected
In March 2015 Christies in Dubai held the auction Modern & Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art, which included the work Adaa ela Baghdad (Prayers for Baghdad) by Rafa al-Nasiri. It changed hands for a price of USD 21,250.00 (€ 19,784.01) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 18,000.00 – 22,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Adaa ela Baghdad (Prayers for Baghdad) is the most expensive artwork by Rafa al-Nasiri that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im März 2015 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Adaa ela Baghdad (Prayers for Baghdad) von Rafa al-Nasiri zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 21.250,00 (€ 19.784,01) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 18.000,00 – 22.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Adaa ela Baghdad (Prayers for Baghdad) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Rafa al-Nasiri, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
