This artwork by Salah Abdel Kerim achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in May last year. In the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including On The Banks of the NileA Journey Through Egyptian Art auction, the work The Fish sold for GBP 14,025.00 (€ 16,499.08) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Salah Abdel Kerim achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Egyptian the Bull in April 2016 with an auction result of GBP 173,000.00 (€ 221,145.44).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Salah Abdel Kerim erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including On The Banks of the NileA Journey Through Egyptian Art wurde die Arbeit The Fish für GBP 14.025,00 (€ 16.499,08) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Salah Abdel Kerim erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Egyptian the Bull im April 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 173.000,00 (€ 221.145,44).
