This artwork by Huguette Caland achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2020. In the Modern & Contemporary Middle Eastern Art auction, the work Darius sold for GBP 125,000.00 (€ 139,542.18) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 65,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Huguette Caland - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bribes de Corps (Body Parts), which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 250,000.00 (€ 289,982.07).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 92 % übertroffen
