Auction result well in line with expectations

The work North Gate of Baghdad by Simon Norfolk was sold in the ULTIMATE Evening & Photographs Day Sales auction at Phillips in London in May 2018. It changed hands for a price of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,828.78) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Simon Norfolk - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Former Teahouse in a park next to the Afghan Exhibition of Economic and Social Achievements in the Shah Shahid district of Kabul, which sold at auction in November 2008 for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,624.78).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit North Gate of Baghdad von Simon Norfolk wurde im Mai 2018 in der Auktion ULTIMATE Evening & Photographs Day Sales bei Phillips in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 6.875,00 (€ 7.828,78) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Simon Norfolk mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Former Teahouse in a park next to the Afghan Exhibition of Economic and Social Achievements in the Shah Shahid district of Kabul beobachtet, die im November 2008 für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.624,78) versteigert wurde.
