Upper estimate price exceeded by 57 %.
In April 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction 20th Century Art / Middle East, which included the work Iranianil Minotauro Fa Paura Alla Gente Per Bene (The Minotaur Scares The Good People) by Bahman Mohasses. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 549,000.00 (€ 625,252.53), 57% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Bahman Mohasses; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Minotauro sulla riva del mare sold at auction in March 2021 with the realized price of GBP 1,007,200.00 (€ 1,183,200.55).
