Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Toilet by Kamrul Hasan was sold in the South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in September 2015. Here, the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 5,250.00 (€ 4,703.46). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kamrul Hasan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Mother and Child with Attendants), which sold at auction in September 2011 for USD 15,000.00 (€ 11,153.25).
