Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2011 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art / Arab & Iranian, which included the work Hurriya (Freedom) by Samir Sayegh. The price achieved of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,786.55) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samir Sayegh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Noon, which sold at auction in March last year for GBP 18,900.00 (€ 22,408.08).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2011 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art / Arab & Iranian durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hurriya (Freedom) von Samir Sayegh zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.786,55) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Samir Sayegh mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Noon beobachtet, die im März letzten Jahres für GBP 18.900,00 (€ 22.408,08) versteigert wurde.
