The work The Letter "HA" by Samir Sayegh was auctioned at Bonhams in London in December 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 9,375.00 (€ 10,444.58), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 34%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samir Sayegh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Noon, which sold at auction in March last year for GBP 18,900.00 (€ 22,408.08).

Die Arbeit The Letter "HA" von Samir Sayegh kam im Dezember 2018 bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 9.375,00 (€ 10.444,58) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 34%. Für andere Arbeiten von Samir Sayegh mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Noon beobachtet, die im März letzten Jahres für GBP 18.900,00 (€ 22.408,08) versteigert wurde.
