In October 2016 Christies in Dubai held the auction Modern & Contemporary Art, which included the work Zaman: Saa’a Ramliya (Hour Glass) (a work in progress) by Abdul Qader Al Rais. The »bidding war« ended at USD 93,750.00 (€ 85,522.71), 56% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Abdul Qader Al Rais - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bishra (Announcement), which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 385,000.00 (€ 247,302.16).

Im Oktober 2016 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Zaman: Saa’a Ramliya (Hour Glass) (a work in progress) von Abdul Qader Al Rais zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 93.750,00 (€ 85.522,71) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Abdul Qader Al Rais mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bishra (Announcement) beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 385.000,00 (€ 247.302,16) versteigert wurde.
