A top price for Gaganendranath Tagore
When the work Bed Of Arrows (Bhishma) by Gaganendranath Tagore was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 81,250.00 (€ 113,648.46). This high result makes Bed Of Arrows (Bhishma) the most expensive artwork by Gaganendranath Tagore that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Gaganendranath Tagore
Als die Arbeit Bed Of Arrows (Bhishma) von Gaganendranath Tagore im Oktober 2015 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 81.250,00 (€ 113.648,46) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Bed Of Arrows (Bhishma) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Gaganendranath Tagore, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
