This artwork by Vagrich Bakhchanyan achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in September 2021. In the Escape Artists – The Non-Conformists Online auction, the work Man and Woman (two works) sold for GBP 2,772.00 (€ 3,225.26) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vagrich Bakhchanyan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Stalin Test, which sold at auction in February 2007 for GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,894.78).
