Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Asit Kumar Haldar could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in March last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art auction, the work Untitled (Drishti); Untitled (Rasa) changed hands for USD 2,772.00 (€ 2,498.87) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Asit Kumar Haldar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Procession in September 2006 with an auction result of USD 114,000.00 (€ 89,855.76).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Asit Kumar Haldar konnte im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art wechselte die Arbeit Untitled (Drishti); Untitled (Rasa) für USD 2.772,00 (€ 2.498,87) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Asit Kumar Haldar erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Procession im September 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 114.000,00 (€ 89.855,76).
