Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2019 Christies in New York held the auction South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art, which included the work Caverns Measureless to Man II by Jehangir Sabavala. The price achieved of USD 435,000.00 (€ 398,899.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 350,000.00 – 500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jehangir Sabavala - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Embarkation, which sold at auction in September 2021 for USD 1,590,000.00 (€ 1,373,412.80).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Caverns Measureless to Man II von Jehangir Sabavala zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 435.000,00 (€ 398.899,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 350.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jehangir Sabavala mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Embarkation beobachtet, die im September 2021 für USD 1.590.000,00 (€ 1.373.412,80) versteigert wurde.
