Sotheby's mehdi canvas, by Deleted on Nov 27, 2018 14:52:05 GMT 1, That's cheap for a Mehdi canvas even though its small and its a beauty - I know the seller was expecting much more
The larger ones start at 15K and there are very specific terms on selling the piece on within a defined time period which put me off

I have two canvases, bought them both from primary source, and no restrictive terms of that nature were mentioned at any point. Again, that may have changed very recently, but just wanted to state that my experience doesn't match what you've described.

You're right about the pricing for the larger pieces though - 15K is/was the price for canvases four times the size of this one at 120x120.

No I had the same thing a while back. £15k and then couldn't sell it for 3years or something. It put me off too and it wasn't long before they were £5k for similar size.
They will be really disappointed with that result.

However I don't understand why you think they'd be disappointed with the auction result - if you include the BP, the price achieved was more than 50% above the current primary price for canvases of that size. If you don't include the BP, it's still 25% higher than primary.
I can't pretend to understand how auctions work, but to me that seems like a good outcome for the artist.

Appreciate why that would put you (both) off though - circumstances change etc, and it would probably make me think twice too.

Sotheby's mehdi canvas, by rogerwu99 on Nov 27, 2018 19:46:20 GMT 1, I do own a few of Medhi's pieces, but here are my unbiased observations:
- the overall auction didn't seem to attract many bidders (eyeballing the results, many sold within estimate, looks like a lot didn't sell)
- the Mehdi piece seemed to garner the most bids (yes, the estimate was glaringly low, but I was not aware of it here in the US ... strange timing with Thanksgiving day weekend)
- it's a good thing for Mehdi collectors (IMO) that this didn't blow the top off his price (if he attained a huge price, the market would then be flooded with his work which might not reflect actual demand) and then gallery won't be able to sell anything new if they don't hold their price
- nice exposure for Mehdi in a marquee auction house
- like the Facebook IPO (which moved less than 5% on IPO day) the gallery seems to be pricing this perfectly. After all, the bulk of the funds should be going to the artist and his team and not to "flippers"

Sotheby's mehdi canvas, by brunoart99 on Nov 27, 2018 22:35:14 GMT 1, I know mehdi and richard are both very pleased with the price achieved, its the first time a canvas has been sold via an auction house and it sets where his market is going, no doubt prices will rise for both prints and canvases in the near future, mehdi ghadyanloo is an outstanding artist and richard a very clever business man, together they make a formidable team. Mehdi is currently concentating on work for WEF so 2020 will no doubt raise his profile on the world stage even higher.

Better if he was showing at art basel, doing a major survey at Major museum in US or Europe or representing his country at the Venice Biennale.

Not saying this is the case here, but taking with a grain of salt.

I really dont get the whole davos thing with Mehdi, he paints images that highlight human suffering and unfairness, then goes to davos to sell them to the rich people who are there to actively plan the future suffering of more people, the more the better in fact. I cant help but think they look at them and think "good, i can feel the people are suffering in this, i like it". I just dont get why he would want to be there at all.
Forget the gallery stuff, i like Medhi, i like his art, and i thought i liked his ethic, but this is just an utterly weird form of oxymoron to me. Maybe i dont get it, would be interested to find out why though.

It was also sold to benefit a great cause.
"the study for Mehdi Ghadyanloo’s recent commission at the 2019 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos and 100% of the sale proceeds will be applied to The Lotus Flower's ongoing work empowering refugee women to drive change in Europe and the Middle East"

At least in the US, the charitable deduction is only available to the extent that your payment exceeds the fair market value of the work. Are the rules different in the UK?
Unless there's some dramatic variance, the money to charity tactic seems less compelling than the many other ways used to inflate value.

As opposed to shredding stunts and PR promotions and connections with journos etc. Mehdi's art speaks for itself.
