Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work December '73 by Biren De was worth USD 30,240.00 (€ 28,571.43) to a buyer in September this year. This price was achieved in the auction South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 7,000.00 many times over. 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).
