Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Misr Al-Salaam (‘Egypt-Peace’) by Hussein Bicar was sold in the Middle Eastern, Modern and Contemporary Art auction at Christies in London in October 2017. The price achieved of GBP 35,000.00 (€ 39,906.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00.
