Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Iranian untitled by Behjat Sadr was sold in the 20th Century Art/ Middle East auction at Sothebys in London in April 2017. The price achieved of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 35,625.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Behjat Sadr - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 96,250.00 (€ 111,643.10).
