Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2018 Christies in London held the auction Middle Eastern, Modern and Contemporary Art, which included the work I, The Syrian by Tammam Azzam. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,752.88). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tammam Azzam - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (From The Stores Series), which sold at auction in March 2016 for USD 25,000.00 (€ 21,949.08).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Middle Eastern, Modern and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit I, The Syrian von Tammam Azzam zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 6.875,00 (€ 7.752,88) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Tammam Azzam mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled (From The Stores Series) beobachtet, die im März 2016 für USD 25.000,00 (€ 21.949,08) versteigert wurde.
