Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Untitled (from the 'Waw' Series) by Abdul Qader Al Rais was worth USD 133,000.00 (€ 91,927.01) to a buyer in October 2007. This price was achieved in the auction International Modern and Contemporary Art at Christies in Dubai and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 40,000.00 many times over. 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).
