Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Emergence Of The Letter by Yousef Ahmad was sold in the Contemporary Art / Doha auction at Sothebys in Doha in April 2015. The price achieved of USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,397.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yousef Ahmad - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Movement of The Letter, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 73,000.00 (€ 46,891.06).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Emergence Of The Letter von Yousef Ahmad wurde im April 2015 in der Auktion Contemporary Art / Doha bei Sothebys in Doha versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 22.397,42) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Yousef Ahmad mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Movement of The Letter beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 73.000,00 (€ 46.891,06) versteigert wurde.
