This artwork by Yasam Sasmazer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in April 2011. In the Contemporary Art/ Turkish auction, the work Treacherous Wolf sold for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,484.87) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yasam Sasmazer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Captured by Light, which sold at auction in April 2012 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 37,795.75).
