The work Text Decoded II by Jagdish Swaminathan was auctioned at Christies in New York in March last year. It achieved a price of USD 302,400.00 (€ 272,604.35), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 68%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jagdish Swaminathan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Bird, Tree and Mountain Series), which sold at auction in September last year for USD 819,000.00 (€ 837,166.51).
