The auction market for Bahman Mohasses has expanded significantly since 2014. While annual sales rarely exceeded USD 0.2 million before 2013, market turnover subsequently increased, generally ranging between USD 0.6 million and USD 1.8 million. Sales reached a high of nearly USD 2.8 million in 2021, driven primarily by the consignment of a small number of high-value works. The increase in transaction volumes and decline in median prices in subsequent years suggest that this peak reflected supply-side factors rather than a broader shift in market demand.
After a contraction in 2023, the market recovered in 2024, with both transaction volumes and prices increasing. Median prices have generally remained within a range of USD 40,000–95,000, with the exception of 2017, when the sale of higher-value works lifted the median to USD 316,000. Sell-through rates have remained above 60% in most years, indicating relatively consistent demand.
The USD 100,000–500,000 segment represents the largest share of market value, accounting for 35 transactions and approximately USD 8.3 million in sales. Although works priced above USD 500,000 are infrequent, they account for a disproportionate share of value and have a significant impact on annual market performance. Overall, the market's long-term growth has been accompanied by a high concentration of value in a limited number of top-priced works.
