Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Dia Al-Azzawi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in November 2021. In the Middle Eastern 20th and 21st Century Art auction, the work Man and Woman sold for GBP 150,000.00 (€ 176,114.11) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 60,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Dia Al-Azzawi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Arsak Mowt (Your Wedding is Death) sold at auction in October 2016 with the realized price of USD 235,500.00 (€ 214,833.06).
