Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Untitled (from the Impressionist Collection) by Abdul Qader Al Rais was sold in the International Modern and Contemporary Art auction at Christies in Dubai in October 2008. The price achieved of USD 146,500.00 (€ 115,518.06) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. 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).
