Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Iraqi salam (From The Confusionism Series) by Mahmoud Obaidi was sold in the 20th Century Art / Middle East auction at Sothebys in London in April 2016. It changed hands for a price of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 14,380.85) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mahmoud Obaidi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Farewell Kiss, which sold at auction in October 2014 for USD 62,500.00 (€ 49,880.29).
