This artwork by B. Prabha achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September this year. In the South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art auction, the work Untitled (Fisherwoman) sold for USD 30,240.00 (€ 28,571.43) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by B. Prabha - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in September 2006 for USD 90,000.00 (€ 70,938.76).
