This work without title by Dia Al-Azzawi was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, Part I auction at Christies in London in November last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 75,600.00 (€ 87,603.14), 26% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dia Al-Azzawi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Arsak Mowt (Your Wedding is Death), which sold at auction in October 2016 for USD 235,500.00 (€ 214,833.06).
