Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2012 Christies in Dubai held the auction Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art Part I, which included the work Yuk ('Cupboard') by Ayman Baalbaki. The price achieved of USD 98,500.00 (€ 74,457.63) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ayman Baalbaki - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ya’Illahi (Dear Lord), which sold at auction in April 2013 for USD 377,000.00 (€ 286,300.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2012 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art Part I durch, in der auch die Arbeit Yuk ('Cupboard') von Ayman Baalbaki zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 98.500,00 (€ 74.457,63) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Ayman Baalbaki mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ya’Illahi (Dear Lord) beobachtet, die im April 2013 für USD 377.000,00 (€ 286.300,12) versteigert wurde.
