Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.
This artwork by Lorna Selim achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in May this year. In the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art auction, the work Architectural Composition sold for GBP 28,160.00 (€ 32,764.35) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Lorna Selim; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Baghdadiyat sold at auction in June 2020 with the realized price of GBP 52,562.00 (€ 57,887.93).
