Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When this work without title by Gulam Rasool Santosh was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 9,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 32,760.00 (€ 27,897.47). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gulam Rasool Santosh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in March 2014 for USD 149,000.00 (€ 108,151.27).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Gulam Rasool Santosh im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 9.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 32.760,00 (€ 27.897,47) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Gulam Rasool Santosh mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im März 2014 für USD 149.000,00 (€ 108.151,27) versteigert wurde.
