Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Nour Al-Ahmar Wa Naruhu (Red light and its fire) by Fateh Moudarres was auctioned at Christies in Dubai in October 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 180,000.00 – 240,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 170,500.00 (€ 122,248.51). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fateh Moudarres - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in October 2010 for USD 374,500.00 (€ 269,540.81).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Nour Al-Ahmar Wa Naruhu (Red light and its fire) von Fateh Moudarres im Oktober 2011 bei Christies in Dubai versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 180.000,00 – 240.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 170.500,00 (€ 122.248,51) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Fateh Moudarres mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im Oktober 2010 für USD 374.500,00 (€ 269.540,81) versteigert wurde.
