In March 2021 Christies in New York held the auction South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art Including Works by Benodebehari Mukherjee from the Mrinalini Mukherjee Foundation, which included the work Abstract Collage by Benode Behari Mukherjee. The »bidding war« ended at USD 22,500.00 (€ 19,160.35), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Benode Behari Mukherjee - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Frying Fish, which sold at auction in March 2021 for USD 70,000.00 (€ 59,609.98).
