Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work April 73 by Biren De was sold in the Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art auction at Sothebys in London in October 2016. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,102.99). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Biren De - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work September '73, which sold at auction in October 2018 for GBP 60,000.00 (€ 67,661.49).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit April 73 von Biren De wurde im Oktober 2016 in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 15.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.102,99) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Biren De mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit September '73 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2018 für GBP 60.000,00 (€ 67.661,49) versteigert wurde.
