Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March 2016 Sothebys in New York held the auction Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art, which included the work The First Sin by J. Sultan Ali. Here, the upper estimate of USD 10,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 10,625.00 (€ 9,328.36). Admittedly, works by J. Sultan Ali have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Vanraj-Nandi in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 47,880.00 (€ 40,773.23).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März 2016 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The First Sin von J. Sultan Ali zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 10.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 10.625,00 (€ 9.328,36) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von J. Sultan Ali auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Vanraj-Nandi im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 47.880,00 (€ 40.773,23).
