A top price for Amar Nath Sehgal
When the work Nari by Amar Nath Sehgal was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 34,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at USD 277,200.00 (€ 249,887.32). This high result makes Nari the most expensive artwork by Amar Nath Sehgal that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Amar Nath Sehgal
Als die Arbeit Nari von Amar Nath Sehgal im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 34.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 277.200,00 (€ 249.887,32) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Nari zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Amar Nath Sehgal, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
