Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Untitled (Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam) by Mahadev Viswanath Dhurandhar was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 68,750.00 (€ 61,230.85). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Mahadev Viswanath Dhurandhar; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Twenty Watercolours Depicting Scenes Of Bombay sold at auction in October 2017 with the realized price of GBP 87,500.00 (€ 99,767.13).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam) von Mahadev Viswanath Dhurandhar im März 2019 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 68.750,00 (€ 61.230,85) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Mahadev Viswanath Dhurandhar; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Twenty Watercolours Depicting Scenes Of Bombay im Oktober 2017 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 87.500,00 (€ 99.767,13).
