The work Hibiscus Flowers by Inji Efflatoun was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art auction at Bonhams in London in November this year. It achieved a price of GBP 23,040.00 (€ 26,698.35), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 54%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Inji Efflatoun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Egyptian'Ahlam Almuetaqala (Dreams Of The Detainee), which sold at auction in April 2018 for GBP 68,750.00 (€ 78,298.93).
