In May last year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including On The Banks of the NileA Journey Through Egyptian Art, which included the work Croisé B by Mohamed Melehi. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 189,300.00 (€ 222,693.43), 58% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mohamed Melehi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Blacks, which sold at auction in March 2020 for GBP 399,000.00 (€ 450,552.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including On The Banks of the NileA Journey Through Egyptian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Croisé B von Mohamed Melehi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 189.300,00 (€ 222.693,43) und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Mohamed Melehi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Blacks beobachtet, die im März 2020 für GBP 399.000,00 (€ 450.552,72) versteigert wurde.
