Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.

The work Ayman Sleeping, Paris, 2005 by Youssef Nabil was sold in the Modern and Contemporary African Art auction at Sothebys in London in March 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 6,930.00 (€ 8,140.96), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 39%.

Die Arbeit Ayman Sleeping, Paris, 2005 von Youssef Nabil wurde im März 2021 in der Auktion Modern and Contemporary African Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 6.930,00 (€ 8.140,96) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 39%. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Youssef Nabil auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Maelema- Fifi Abdo im Oktober 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 91.300,00 (€ 65.711,82).
