Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Devayani Krishna achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in May last year. In the The Surya Collection: Property from Mrs. Ute Rettberg auction, the work Old Dehli sold for GBP 1,260.00 (€ 1,482.27) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Devayani Krishna achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Townscape) in May last year with an auction result of GBP 15,120.00 (€ 17,787.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Devayani Krishna erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Surya Collection: Property from Mrs. Ute Rettberg wurde die Arbeit Old Dehli für GBP 1.260,00 (€ 1.482,27) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Devayani Krishna erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Townscape) im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 15.120,00 (€ 17.787,24).
