Auction result well in line with expectations
In June this year Bonhams in Hong Kong held the auction Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art, which included the work Chessmen by Anwar Jalal Shemza. The price achieved of GBP 35,840.00 (€ 41,711.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Admittedly, works by Anwar Jalal Shemza have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work City Wall in September 2021 with an auction result of USD 231,250.00 (€ 199,749.50).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Chessmen von Anwar Jalal Shemza zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 35.840,00 (€ 41.711,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Anwar Jalal Shemza auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit City Wall im September 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 231.250,00 (€ 199.749,50).
