Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Middle Eastern Art Online Sale including works from the Saatchi Collection, which included the work Composition by Tahia Halim. The price achieved of GBP 2,550.00 (€ 2,970.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tahia Halim achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Farhat Al Nuba (The Happiness of Nubia) in March 2015 with an auction result of USD 749,000.00 (€ 697,328.00).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Middle Eastern Art Online Sale including works from the Saatchi Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Composition von Tahia Halim zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.550,00 (€ 2.970,75) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tahia Halim erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Farhat Al Nuba (The Happiness of Nubia) im März 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 749.000,00 (€ 697.328,00).
