This artwork by Mohan Samant achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in October 2016. In the Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art auction, the work Untitled (Woman) sold for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 11,836.57) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mohan Samant achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Kings And The Crowd in March 2020 with an auction result of USD 162,500.00 (€ 147,338.83).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 77 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Mohan Samant erzielte im Oktober 2016 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art wurde die Arbeit Untitled (Woman) für GBP 10.625,00 (€ 11.836,57) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mohan Samant erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Kings And The Crowd im März 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 162.500,00 (€ 147.338,83).
