The work Body Letter, Tripartite by Parastou Forouhar was sold in the Photographs auction at Phillips in London in November 2008. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,000.00 (€ 12,090.75), 43% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Parastou Forouhar - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Friday, which sold at auction in October 2007 for USD 61,000.00 (€ 42,162.01).
