This artwork by Massoud Arabshahi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Dubai in May this year.

Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Massoud Arabshahi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot without title sold at auction in April 2008 with the realized price of USD 277,000.00 (€ 177,929.09).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
