The work Hieroglyphs I (From Stories Retold Series) by Nalini Malani was sold in the Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art auction at Sothebys in London in September 2020. It achieved a price of GBP 40,320.00 (€ 44,459.35), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 34%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nalini Malani - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Manipulating Reality, which sold at auction in September 2010 for USD 122,500.00 (€ 90,066.91).
