Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March 2019 Christies in Dubai held the auction Middle Eastern Modern & Contemporary Art, which included the work Gaza by Suleiman Mansour. Here, the upper estimate of USD 40,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 43,750.00 (€ 38,965.09). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Suleiman Mansour - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Shaheda Min Tel al-Zaatar (The Witness of Tel al-Zaatar), which sold at auction in November last year for GBP 101,100.00 (€ 117,151.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März 2019 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Middle Eastern Modern & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Gaza von Suleiman Mansour zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 40.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 43.750,00 (€ 38.965,09) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Suleiman Mansour mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Shaheda Min Tel al-Zaatar (The Witness of Tel al-Zaatar) beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für GBP 101.100,00 (€ 117.151,82) versteigert wurde.
