Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May last year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art, which included the work Blue Vase by Anwar Jalal Shemza. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 50,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 50,700.00 (€ 59,643.72). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Anwar Jalal Shemza - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work City Wall, which sold at auction in September 2021 for USD 231,250.00 (€ 199,749.50).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Blue Vase von Anwar Jalal Shemza zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 50.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 50.700,00 (€ 59.643,72) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Anwar Jalal Shemza mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit City Wall beobachtet, die im September 2021 für USD 231.250,00 (€ 199.749,50) versteigert wurde.
