Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March last year Christies in New York held the auction South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art Including Works from the Collection of Mahinder and Sharad Tak, which included the work The Blue Pool by K. G. Subramanyan. Here, the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 56,700.00 (€ 51,113.31). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by K. G. Subramanyan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mask, Icon, Mount, Mascot, which sold at auction in March 2013 for USD 185,000.00 (€ 144,350.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art Including Works from the Collection of Mahinder and Sharad Tak durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Blue Pool von K. G. Subramanyan zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 50.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 56.700,00 (€ 51.113,31) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von K. G. Subramanyan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mask, Icon, Mount, Mascot beobachtet, die im März 2013 für USD 185.000,00 (€ 144.350,81) versteigert wurde.
