This artwork by Nandalal Bose achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September 2013. In the The Art of Nandalal Bose, Abanindranath Tagore and Rabindranath Tagore: The Supratik Bose Collection auction, the work Untitled (Preparatory Drawing For Bapuji) sold for USD 6,875.00 (€ 5,079.42) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,500.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Nandalal Bose erzielte im September 2013 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Art of Nandalal Bose, Abanindranath Tagore and Rabindranath Tagore: The Supratik Bose Collection wurde die Arbeit Untitled (Preparatory Drawing For Bapuji) für USD 6.875,00 (€ 5.079,42) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.500,00. 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).
