Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Untitled (Calligraphic) by Ismail Gulgee was auctioned at Bonhams in London in November this year. The price achieved of GBP 23,040.00 (€ 26,698.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ismail Gulgee - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pakistani untitled (Dancing Woman), which sold at auction in November 2017 for USD 77,500.00 (€ 65,137.00).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Untitled (Calligraphic) von Ismail Gulgee kam im November diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 23.040,00 (€ 26.698,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Ismail Gulgee mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pakistani untitled (Dancing Woman) beobachtet, die im November 2017 für USD 77.500,00 (€ 65.137,00) versteigert wurde.
