Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Amrita Sher-Gil achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Mumbai in November 2018. In the Boundless: India auction, the work without title sold for INR 5,250,000.00 (€ 66,303.10) - well above the upper estimate of INR 2,500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Amrita Sher-Gil achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Self-Portrait) in March 2015 with an auction result of USD 2,920,000.00 (€ 2,718,555.07).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Amrita Sher-Gil erzielte im November 2018 bei Sothebys in Mumbai einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Boundless: India wurde diese Arbeit ohne Titel für INR 5.250.000,00 (€ 66.303,10) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von INR 2.500.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Amrita Sher-Gil erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Self-Portrait) im März 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.920.000,00 (€ 2.718.555,07).
