The work One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Mohammad Rawas was auctioned at Christies in Dubai in April 2011. It achieved a price of USD 42,500.00 (€ 28,675.53), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 42%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mohammad Rawas - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Revisiting Picasso's Guernica, which sold at auction in October 2014 for USD 81,250.00 (€ 64,844.37).
