Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2004 Christies in London held the auction INDIAN AND ISLAMIC WORKS OF ART, which included the work Two Watercolours by Muhammad Amir. The price achieved of GBP 597.50 (€ 859.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Muhammad Amir achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A bay horse standing with a groom in September 2003 with an auction result of GBP 16,730.00 (€ 16,851.67).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion INDIAN AND ISLAMIC WORKS OF ART durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two Watercolours von Muhammad Amir zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 597,50 (€ 859,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Muhammad Amir erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A bay horse standing with a groom im September 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.730,00 (€ 16.851,67).
