Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Untitled (Woman) by B. Prabha was sold in the Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art auction at Bonhams in Hong Kong in June this year. It changed hands for a price of GBP 24,320.00 (€ 28,304.29) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. 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).
