This artwork by Abdur Rahman Chughtai achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in September this year. In the Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner auction, the work Young Boy sold for USD 1,280.00 (€ 1,209.37) - well above the upper estimate of USD 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Abdur Rahman Chughtai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Krishna Instructing Arjuna in September 2021 with an auction result of USD 250,000.00 (€ 215,945.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Abdur Rahman Chughtai erzielte im September diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner wurde die Arbeit Young Boy für USD 1.280,00 (€ 1.209,37) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Abdur Rahman Chughtai erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Krishna Instructing Arjuna im September 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 250.000,00 (€ 215.945,41).
