Upper estimate price exceeded by 53 %.
The work Two Pigeons by Salah Abdel Kerim was auctioned at Bonhams in London in May last year. It achieved a price of GBP 15,300.00 (€ 17,998.99), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 53%. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 53 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Two Pigeons von Salah Abdel Kerim kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 15.300,00 (€ 17.998,99) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 53%. 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).
