Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Woman at the Well; Shell Girls by Haren Das was sold in the South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in September 2019. The result of USD 1,500.00 (€ 1,375.52) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Haren Das - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Summer Bath; Untitled (Shop at Night); Woman at the Well; With her Property, which sold at auction in September 2020 for USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,733.57).
