Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Figures by Sadequain was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2020. The price achieved of USD 25,000.00 (€ 21,233.23) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Admittedly, works by Sadequain have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Qalandar in September 2015 with an auction result of USD 173,000.00 (€ 154,990.15).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Figures von Sadequain kam im Juli 2020 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 21.233,23) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sadequain auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Qalandar im September 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 173.000,00 (€ 154.990,15).
