A top price for Sami Mohammed
In October 2007 Christies in Dubai held the auction International Modern and Contemporary Art, which included the work Sabra and Chatilla by Sami Mohammed. The »bidding war« ended at USD 79,000.00 (€ 54,603.26), 32% above the upper estimate. With this result, Sabra and Chatilla is even the most expensive work of art by Sami Mohammed that we have observed at auctions so far.
