This artwork by Ramsès Younan achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Doha in April 2015. In the Contemporary Art / Doha auction, the work Untitled (Abstract) sold for USD 106,250.00 (€ 95,189.03) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ramsès Younan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Contre le mur, which sold at auction in March 2019 for USD 387,000.00 (€ 344,674.03).
