Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art, which included the work Perhaps you 2 by Mithu Sen. The price achieved of GBP 4,032.00 (€ 4,776.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mithu Sen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Four Untitled Works, which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 14,900.00 (€ 18,953.45).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Perhaps you 2 von Mithu Sen zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.032,00 (€ 4.776,83) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Mithu Sen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Four Untitled Works beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für GBP 14.900,00 (€ 18.953,45) versteigert wurde.
