In March last year Christies in New York held the auction South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art Including Works from the Collection of Mahinder and Sharad Tak, which included the work Untitled (Kashmir) by B. Prabha. The »bidding war« ended at USD 27,720.00 (€ 24,988.73), 54% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 54 % übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art Including Works from the Collection of Mahinder and Sharad Tak durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (Kashmir) von B. Prabha zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 27.720,00 (€ 24.988,73) und damit 54% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von B. Prabha mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im September 2006 für USD 90.000,00 (€ 70.938,76) versteigert wurde.
