In June 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including BaghdadiyatIraqi Masterpieces from the Madhloom and Makiya Collections, which included the work Waiting At Rawi by Nouri al-Rawi. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 7,650.00 (€ 8,914.24), 53% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Nouri al-Rawi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot without title sold at auction in October 2014 with the realized price of USD 21,250.00 (€ 16,959.30).
