Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Ara Güler achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in December 2020. In the The Gift of Photographs auction, the work Aerial studies, Noah's Ark, Mount Ararat and Mount Tunduruk sold for USD 5,355.00 (€ 4,378.58) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,500.00.
