Egyptian modernist painting to go on auction in London

Egyptian modernist piece expected to fetch USD 110k-150k in London auction: An Egyptian modernist piece going on auction in London out of Christie’s Dubai chapter is expected to fetch between USD 110k-150k, The National says. Mahmoud Said’s 1932 réplique of ‘La fille aux yeux verts’ (The girl with the green eyes) is going on auction for the second time since 2007, when Egypt’s government stopped the painting’s sale due to controversy over its ownership. Said’s most expensive painting went for USD 2.5 mn in 2010.
