Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Mahmoud Hammad achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in November this year. In the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art auction, the work Hommage to Resistance (The Fid'ai) sold for GBP 44,800.00 (€ 51,913.46) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Mahmoud Hammad; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Lika'a Bnafasaji Asrak bi Khamsat Awkat (Rythme bleu - mauve en 5 temps) sold at auction in October 2014 with the realized price of USD 118,750.00 (€ 94,772.55).
