The work Memories of the Silk Road by Khaled Al-Saai was auctioned at Christies in Dubai in October 2007. It achieved a price of USD 43,000.00 (€ 29,720.76), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 43%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Khaled Al-Saai - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Earth and Wind, which sold at auction in February 2007 for USD 90,000.00 (€ 68,027.21).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 43 % übertroffen
