Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sweatopia 1 by Jitish Kallat was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2014. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 221,000.00 (€ 160,412.28) could thus just exceed the lower estimate.
