A top price for Suleiman Mansour
When the work Shaheda Min Tel al-Zaatar (The Witness of Tel al-Zaatar) by Suleiman Mansour was auctioned at Bonhams in London in November last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 101,100.00 (€ 117,151.82). This high result makes Shaheda Min Tel al-Zaatar (The Witness of Tel al-Zaatar) the most expensive artwork by Suleiman Mansour that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Suleiman Mansour
Als die Arbeit Shaheda Min Tel al-Zaatar (The Witness of Tel al-Zaatar) von Suleiman Mansour im November letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 101.100,00 (€ 117.151,82) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Shaheda Min Tel al-Zaatar (The Witness of Tel al-Zaatar) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Suleiman Mansour, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
