The work Thresholds by Etel Adnan was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art auction at Bonhams in London in May this year. It achieved a price of GBP 95,650.00 (€ 111,289.41), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 59%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Etel Adnan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in October 2021 for GBP 352,800.00 (€ 417,972.71).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 95.650,00 (€ 111.289,41) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 59%.
