Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2019 Christies in Dubai held the auction Middle Eastern Modern & Contemporary Art, which included the work A Small Donkey Who Thought of Himself to be a Gazelle by Ahmed Al-Askalany. It changed hands for a price of USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,679.73) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ahmed Al-Askalany achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Thinker in April 2011 with an auction result of USD 116,500.00 (€ 78,604.68).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2019 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Middle Eastern Modern & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Small Donkey Who Thought of Himself to be a Gazelle von Ahmed Al-Askalany zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 7.500,00 (€ 6.679,73) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ahmed Al-Askalany erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Thinker im April 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 116.500,00 (€ 78.604,68).
