Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2018 Christies in London held the auction Middle Eastern, Modern and Contemporary Art, which included the work The Ice Cream Seller by Louay Kayyali. The price achieved of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 70,480.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louay Kayyali - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Cake (Kaak) Seller, which sold at auction in June 2020 for GBP 137,562.00 (€ 151,500.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Middle Eastern, Modern and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Ice Cream Seller von Louay Kayyali zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 70.480,72) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Louay Kayyali mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Cake (Kaak) Seller beobachtet, die im Juni 2020 für GBP 137.562,00 (€ 151.500,70) versteigert wurde.
