In October 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction 20th Century Art / Middle East, which included this untitled work by Hussein Bicar. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 32,760.00 (€ 36,377.19), 64% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Hussein Bicar have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Harvest I in October 2016 with an auction result of USD 247,500.00 (€ 225,779.97).

Im Oktober 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 20th Century Art / Middle East durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Hussein Bicar zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 32.760,00 (€ 36.377,19) und damit 64% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hussein Bicar auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Harvest I im Oktober 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 247.500,00 (€ 225.779,97).
