Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Abandoned; Searching by Devi Prasad Roy Chowdhury was worth USD 16,380.00 (€ 14,766.07) to a buyer in March last year. This price was achieved in the auction South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art Online at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Devi Prasad Roy Chowdhury; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot An Inmate of the Harem sold at auction in October 2021 with the realized price of GBP 20,250.00 (€ 23,990.78).
