This artwork by Nandalal Bose achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Mumbai in December 2016. In the The India Sale - South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art auction, the work Untitled (Ploughing) sold for INR 750,000.00 (€ 10,448.26) - well above the upper estimate of INR 350,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nandalal Bose achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bull Fighter in September 2013 with an auction result of USD 147,750.00 (€ 109,161.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Nandalal Bose erzielte im Dezember 2016 bei Christies in Mumbai einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The India Sale - South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Untitled (Ploughing) für INR 750.000,00 (€ 10.448,26) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von INR 350.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nandalal Bose erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bull Fighter im September 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 147.750,00 (€ 109.161,43).
