A top price for Sadegh Tirafkan
When the work From The Series A Nightmare of An Era Hammurabi: The Law Codes by Sadegh Tirafkan was auctioned at Christies in Dubai in April 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 37,000.00 (€ 23,766.70). This high result makes From The Series A Nightmare of An Era Hammurabi: The Law Codes the most expensive artwork by Sadegh Tirafkan that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Sadegh Tirafkan
Als die Arbeit From The Series A Nightmare of An Era Hammurabi: The Law Codes von Sadegh Tirafkan im April 2008 bei Christies in Dubai versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 37.000,00 (€ 23.766,70) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht From The Series A Nightmare of An Era Hammurabi: The Law Codes zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Sadegh Tirafkan, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
