Auction result well in line with expectations
In February last year Bonhams in London held the auction Sketches from Baghdad, which included the work Ishtar by Dia Al-Azzawi. The price achieved of GBP 5,100.00 (€ 6,097.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dia Al-Azzawi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Arsak Mowt (Your Wedding is Death) in October 2016 with an auction result of USD 235,500.00 (€ 214,833.06).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Sketches from Baghdad durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ishtar von Dia Al-Azzawi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.100,00 (€ 6.097,37) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dia Al-Azzawi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Arsak Mowt (Your Wedding is Death) im Oktober 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 235.500,00 (€ 214.833,06).
