Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2016 Christies in Dubai held the auction Dubai: Modern and Contemporary Art Now and Ten, which included this untitled work by Saliba Douaihy. The price achieved of USD 125,000.00 (€ 109,745.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Saliba Douaihy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in May 2018 for USD 336,500.00 (€ 288,346.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2016 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Dubai: Modern and Contemporary Art Now and Ten durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Saliba Douaihy zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 125.000,00 (€ 109.745,39) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Saliba Douaihy mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im Mai 2018 für USD 336.500,00 (€ 288.346,19) versteigert wurde.
