This artwork by Bhupen Khakhar achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in October 2021. In the Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art auction, the work without title sold for GBP 10,710.00 (€ 12,688.46) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Bhupen Khakhar erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art wurde diese Arbeit ohne Titel für GBP 10.710,00 (€ 12.688,46) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. 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).
