A top price for Nalini Malani - as previously expected
The work Manipulating Reality by Nalini Malani was sold in the South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in September 2010. The price achieved of USD 122,500.00 (€ 90,066.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Manipulating Reality is the most expensive artwork by Nalini Malani that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Manipulating Reality von Nalini Malani wurde im September 2010 in der Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 122.500,00 (€ 90.066,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Manipulating Reality das teuerste Kunstwerk von Nalini Malani, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
