Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Untitled (Palash Flowers) by Benode Behari Mukherjee was sold in the Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2021. The price achieved of USD 5,292.00 (€ 4,506.51) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Benode Behari Mukherjee achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Frying Fish in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 70,000.00 (€ 59,609.98).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Untitled (Palash Flowers) von Benode Behari Mukherjee wurde im März 2021 in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.292,00 (€ 4.506,51) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Benode Behari Mukherjee erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Frying Fish im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 70.000,00 (€ 59.609,98).
