Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction 20th Century Art / Middle East, which included the work Kopf (Head) by Marwan. It changed hands for a price of GBP 68,750.00 (€ 77,632.83) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Marwan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Kopf., which sold at auction in June 2015 for EUR 262,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 20th Century Art / Middle East durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kopf (Head) von Marwan zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 68.750,00 (€ 77.632,83) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Marwan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Kopf. beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für EUR 262.500,00 versteigert wurde.
