A photo by Jamshid BAYRAMI, In the Line of Devotion, went at a sale at Phillips de Pury & Company in May of last year for 29,250 USD, greatly surpassing its estimate of 9,000 USD. Likewise for Seon-Ghi BAHK, one of whose sculptures sold for 39,908 USD at the same auction house in June of last year, defying all expectation.
