Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2016 Christies in Mumbai held the auction The India Sale - South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art, which included the work The Morning Star by Gaganendranath Tagore. Here, the upper estimate of INR 2,000,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for INR 2,125,000.00 (€ 29,603.39). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gaganendranath Tagore - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bed Of Arrows (Bhishma), which sold at auction in October 2015 for GBP 81,250.00 (€ 113,648.46).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2016 führte Christies in Mumbai die Auktion The India Sale - South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Morning Star von Gaganendranath Tagore zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von INR 2.000.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für INR 2.125.000,00 (€ 29.603,39) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Gaganendranath Tagore mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bed Of Arrows (Bhishma) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2015 für GBP 81.250,00 (€ 113.648,46) versteigert wurde.
