Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Brazil I by Mahjoub Ben Bella was sold in the International Modern and Contemporary Art auction at Christies in Dubai in April 2008. The price achieved of USD 37,000.00 (€ 23,766.70) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mahjoub Ben Bella - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled , which sold at auction in April 2015 for USD 68,750.00 (€ 61,592.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Brazil I von Mahjoub Ben Bella wurde im April 2008 in der Auktion International Modern and Contemporary Art bei Christies in Dubai versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 37.000,00 (€ 23.766,70) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Mahjoub Ben Bella mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled beobachtet, die im April 2015 für USD 68.750,00 (€ 61.592,90) versteigert wurde.
