This artwork by Mahmoud Saïd achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in November last year. In the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including Baghdadiyat Part IIIThe Finale auction, the work Paysage a Louxor sold for GBP 453,900.00 (€ 525,966.46) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mahmoud Saïd - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Whirling Dervishes, which sold at auction in October 2010 for USD 2,546,500.00 (€ 1,832,805.53).
