Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Two Portraits by Lorna Selim was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art auction at Bonhams in London in May this year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 5,376.00 (€ 6,255.01).
