Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Mukul Dey could be acquired at Christies in New York in September 2002 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Indian and Southeast Asian Art including 20th Century Indian auction, the work Four Studies of Female Celestials After Ajanta changed hands for USD 4,780.00 (€ 4,838.55) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Admittedly, works by Mukul Dey have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Untitled (Dancers; Musicians) in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 27,720.00 (€ 23,605.55).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Mukul Dey konnte im September 2002 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Indian and Southeast Asian Art including 20th Century Indian wechselte die Arbeit Four Studies of Female Celestials After Ajanta für USD 4.780,00 (€ 4.838,55) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mukul Dey auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Untitled (Dancers; Musicians) im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 27.720,00 (€ 23.605,55).
