This artwork by Suleiman Mansour achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Dubai in October 2016. In the Modern & Contemporary Art auction, the work The Rising sold for USD 125,000.00 (€ 114,030.29) - well above the upper estimate of USD 70,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Suleiman Mansour; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Shaheda Min Tel al-Zaatar (The Witness of Tel al-Zaatar) sold at auction in November last year with the realized price of GBP 101,100.00 (€ 117,151.82).
