This artwork by Adham Wanly achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Dubai in April 2008. In the International Modern and Contemporary Art auction, the work The Singer sold for USD 85,000.00 (€ 54,599.18) - well above the upper estimate of USD 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adham Wanly - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Kiss, which sold at auction in April 2010 for USD 146,500.00 (€ 110,133.81).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Adham Wanly erzielte im April 2008 bei Christies in Dubai einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion International Modern and Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit The Singer für USD 85.000,00 (€ 54.599,18) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 40.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Adham Wanly mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Kiss beobachtet, die im April 2010 für USD 146.500,00 (€ 110.133,81) versteigert wurde.
