Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Fateh Moudarres achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in December 2018. In the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art Online Sale auction, the work Children of Heaven sold for GBP 12,500.00 (€ 13,926.11) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fateh Moudarres achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in October 2010 with an auction result of USD 374,500.00 (€ 269,540.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Fateh Moudarres erzielte im Dezember 2018 bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art Online Sale wurde die Arbeit Children of Heaven für GBP 12.500,00 (€ 13.926,11) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fateh Moudarres erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Oktober 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 374.500,00 (€ 269.540,81).
