The work Iranianthree Graces by Monir Farmanfarmaian was sold in the 20th Century Art / Middle East auction at Sothebys in London in October 2018. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 180,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 187,500.00 (€ 211,442.15). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Monir Farmanfarmaian - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Geometry Of Hope, which sold at auction in April 2020 for GBP 375,000.00 (€ 431,378.37).
