The work A Scene from 'Khosro and Shirin' by Reza Derakshani was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, Part II auction at Christies in London in November last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 44,100.00 (€ 51,101.83), 47% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Reza Derakshani - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in March 2016 for USD 221,000.00 (€ 194,029.85).
