Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Krishna Hotel by Bhupen Khakhar was worth GBP 1,225,000.00 (€ 1,451,294.15) to a buyer in October 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 400,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Bhupen Khakhar; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Residency Bungalow sold at auction in June this year with the realized price of GBP 1,984,400.00 (€ 2,309,499.96).
