A top price for Sabry Mansour - as previously expected
In May this year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, which included the work Tears of the Pyramid by Sabry Mansour. The price achieved of GBP 12,800.00 (€ 14,892.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Tears of the Pyramid is the most expensive artwork by Sabry Mansour that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tears of the Pyramid von Sabry Mansour zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.800,00 (€ 14.892,89) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Tears of the Pyramid das teuerste Kunstwerk von Sabry Mansour, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
