This artwork by Hamed Ewais achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Dubai in October 2014. In the Modern & Contemporary Arab, Iranian & Turkish Art auction, the work Al Zaim w Ta'mim Al Canal (Nasser and the Nationalisation of the Canal) sold for USD 557,000.00 (€ 444,533.12) - well above the upper estimate of USD 200,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hamed Ewais; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Al Aabour (The Crossing Of The Suez Canal) sold at auction in March 2016 with the realized price of USD 605,000.00 (€ 531,167.69).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
