Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Untitled (Breakers) by Indra Dugar was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,114.58) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Indra Dugar - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Parshwanath Hills; Mehrangar Fort (Jodhpur); Jagmandir Pichola Lake, which sold at auction in December 2015 for INR 1,875,000.00 (€ 26,072.84).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Untitled (Breakers) von Indra Dugar kam im Oktober 2017 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 12.114,58) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Indra Dugar mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Parshwanath Hills; Mehrangar Fort (Jodhpur); Jagmandir Pichola Lake beobachtet, die im Dezember 2015 für INR 1.875.000,00 (€ 26.072,84) versteigert wurde.
