Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Great Divide by Arpana Caur was auctioned at Christies in New York in September this year. The price achieved of USD 10,080.00 (€ 9,523.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arpana Caur - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Resilient Green, which sold at auction in March 2008 for USD 49,000.00 (€ 31,002.85).

Die Arbeit The Great Divide von Arpana Caur kam im September diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 10.080,00 (€ 9.523,81) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Arpana Caur mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Resilient Green beobachtet, die im März 2008 für USD 49.000,00 (€ 31.002,85) versteigert wurde.
