Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Walid Raad achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2012. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Untitled (BEY82_Soldiers_I, 1982-2004) (From the series We Decided to Let Them Say "We Are Convinced" Twice. It was More Convincing This Way.") sold for GBP 32,450.00 (€ 40,180.83) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Walid Raad; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Scratching On Things I Could Disavow (Parts 2-5) sold at auction in April 2015 with the realized price of USD 87,500.00 (€ 78,390.97).
