Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work How He Wandered With The Heart Of A Martyr (From The Epic Of The Martyr Series) by Kadhim Haider was auctioned at Bonhams in London in June 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 598,750.00 (€ 697,699.40). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Kadhim Haider; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Al Qamar sold at auction in May this year with the realized price of GBP 635,400.00 (€ 739,292.13).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit How He Wandered With The Heart Of A Martyr (From The Epic Of The Martyr Series) von Kadhim Haider im Juni 2021 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 598.750,00 (€ 697.699,40) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Kadhim Haider; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Al Qamar im Mai diesen Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 635.400,00 (€ 739.292,13).
