Auction result misses estimated price range
In June 2019 a collector was able to acquire the work Green Horizon by Rafa al-Nasiri for GBP 357.00 (€ 401.32). This price was achieved in the auction MiddleEast London to Dubai Online Sale at Bonhams in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 8,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rafa al-Nasiri achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Adaa ela Baghdad (Prayers for Baghdad) in March 2015 with an auction result of USD 21,250.00 (€ 19,784.01).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juni 2019 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Green Horizon von Rafa al-Nasiri für GBP 357,00 (€ 401,32) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion MiddleEast London to Dubai Online Sale bei Bonhams in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rafa al-Nasiri erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Adaa ela Baghdad (Prayers for Baghdad) im März 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 21.250,00 (€ 19.784,01).
