Upper estimate price exceeded by 74 %.

The work Mirror Ball by Monir Farmanfarmaian was sold in the Modern & Contemporary Art auction at Christies in Dubai in October 2015. The »bidding war« ended at USD 209,000.00 (€ 189,277.30), 74% above the upper estimate. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 74 % übertroffen
