“The Siege,” by Erol Akyavaş, is going up for auction at the beginning of March. It’s Akyavaş’s masterwork, and is considered to be one of the top five most important modern Turkish paintings. It’s expected to fetch a price somewhere between 1 and 1.5 million dollars (USD). I’ll probably have to pass on this one, beautiful as it is; at a size of nearly 4m across, I just don’t have the room for it. Link
