Upper estimate price exceeded by 46 %.
In October 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art, which included the work Untitled (Rooster) by Meera Mukherjee. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,988.36), 46% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Meera Mukherjee achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Mango Orchard) in March last year with an auction result of USD 226,800.00 (€ 204,453.26).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (Rooster) von Meera Mukherjee zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.375,00 (€ 4.988,36) und damit 46% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Meera Mukherjee erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Mango Orchard) im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 226.800,00 (€ 204.453,26).
