Auction result well in line with expectations
In May last year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art, which included the work Figure with Pigeon II by Jamil Naqsh. The price achieved of GBP 45,660.00 (€ 53,714.64) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jamil Naqsh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Reclining Nude), which sold at auction in September 2010 for USD 182,500.00 (€ 134,181.31).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Figure with Pigeon II von Jamil Naqsh zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 45.660,00 (€ 53.714,64) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jamil Naqsh mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled (Reclining Nude) beobachtet, die im September 2010 für USD 182.500,00 (€ 134.181,31) versteigert wurde.
