Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Kitabat a'la jidar raqam (1) (Writings on the Wall number (1)) by Shakir Hassan Al Said was sold in the Modern & Contemporary Middle Eastern Art auction at Christies in Dubai in May this year. The price achieved of USD 88,200.00 (€ 82,785.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Shakir Hassan Al Said - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hob Al-Watan Min Al Iman (Loving The Homeland Is Part Of Faith), which sold at auction in June 2021 for GBP 175,250.00 (€ 204,211.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Kitabat a'la jidar raqam (1) (Writings on the Wall number (1)) von Shakir Hassan Al Said wurde im Mai diesen Jahres in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Middle Eastern Art bei Christies in Dubai versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 88.200,00 (€ 82.785,81) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Shakir Hassan Al Said mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Hob Al-Watan Min Al Iman (Loving The Homeland Is Part Of Faith) beobachtet, die im Juni 2021 für GBP 175.250,00 (€ 204.211,81) versteigert wurde.
