This artwork by Nuri Iyem achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in March last year. In the 20th Century Art / Middle East auction, the work Sıradan Sevdalılar (Ordinary Lovers) sold for GBP 16,380.00 (€ 19,420.33) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Nuri Iyem; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot without title sold at auction in March 2020 with the realized price of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 36,699.16).
