Upper estimate price exceeded by 73 %.
The work Untitled (Lovers) by Parviz Tanavoli was sold in the 20th Century Art / Middle East auction at Sothebys in London in March last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 138,600.00 (€ 164,325.90), 73% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Parviz Tanavoli achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Wall (Oh, Persepolis) in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 2,841,000.00 (€ 1,824,897.23).

Die Arbeit Untitled (Lovers) von Parviz Tanavoli wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion 20th Century Art / Middle East bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 138.600,00 (€ 164.325,90) und damit 73% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Parviz Tanavoli erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Wall (Oh, Persepolis) im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.841.000,00 (€ 1.824.897,23).
