This artwork by Willy Aractingi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in March last year. In the 20th Century Art / Middle East auction, the work Souvenir d'Egypte sold for GBP 15,120.00 (€ 17,926.46) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Willy Aractingi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Blue Panther sold at auction in October 2019 with the realized price of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 31,898.03).
