This artwork by Krishen Khanna achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September last year. In the Centering the Figure: South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art from the Collection of Romi Lamba auction, the work Bandwallas in a Forest sold for USD 107,100.00 (€ 109,475.62) - well above the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Krishen Khanna; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Anatomy Lesson sold at auction in March 2007 with the realized price of USD 264,000.00 (€ 197,397.94).
