Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Untitled (Cows); Untitled (Holy Man With Bird) by Manjit Bawa was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2021. The price achieved of USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,193.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Manjit Bawa achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Devi) in March last year with an auction result of USD 1,108,800.00 (€ 999,549.27).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Untitled (Cows); Untitled (Holy Man With Bird) von Manjit Bawa kam im März 2021 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.750,00 (€ 3.193,39) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Manjit Bawa erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Devi) im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.108.800,00 (€ 999.549,27).
