In November 2021 Christies held the auction Middle Eastern 20th and 21st Century Art, which included the work The Mountain and the Desert by Gazbia Sirry. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,417.12), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gazbia Sirry - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Egyptian the Garden , which sold at auction in October 2017 for GBP 81,250.00 (€ 92,640.90).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im November 2021 führte Christies die Auktion Middle Eastern 20th and 21st Century Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Mountain and the Desert von Gazbia Sirry zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 26.417,12) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Gazbia Sirry mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Egyptian the Garden beobachtet, die im Oktober 2017 für GBP 81.250,00 (€ 92.640,90) versteigert wurde.
