A top price for Mukul Dey
When the work Untitled (Dancers; Musicians) by Mukul Dey was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 11 times as high at USD 27,720.00 (€ 23,605.55). This high result makes Untitled (Dancers; Musicians) the most expensive artwork by Mukul Dey that we have observed at auctions so far.
