Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including BaghdadiyatIraqi Masterpieces from the Madhloom and Makiya Collections, which included the work The Dreamer by Suad Al Attar. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 9,562.50 (€ 11,142.80), 20% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Suad Al Attar have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sunset on Salam City in May this year with an auction result of GBP 70,250.00 (€ 81,736.34).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including BaghdadiyatIraqi Masterpieces from the Madhloom and Makiya Collections durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Dreamer von Suad Al Attar zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 9.562,50 (€ 11.142,80) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Suad Al Attar auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sunset on Salam City im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 70.250,00 (€ 81.736,34).
