The work Untitled (Two Men) by Bhupen Khakhar was sold in the South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art Including Works from the Collection of Mahinder and Sharad Tak auction at Christies in New York in March last year. It achieved a price of USD 94,500.00 (€ 85,188.86), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bhupen Khakhar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Residency Bungalow in June this year with an auction result of GBP 1,984,400.00 (€ 2,309,499.96).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Untitled (Two Men) von Bhupen Khakhar wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art Including Works from the Collection of Mahinder and Sharad Tak bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 94.500,00 (€ 85.188,86) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 58%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bhupen Khakhar erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Residency Bungalow im Juni diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.984.400,00 (€ 2.309.499,96).
