A top price for Muhammad Amir - as previously expected
The work A bay horse standing with a groom by Muhammad Amir was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2003. The price achieved of GBP 16,730.00 (€ 16,851.67) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A bay horse standing with a groom is the most expensive artwork by Muhammad Amir that we have observed at auctions so far.
