The work Ladak by Nicholas Roerich was auctioned at Christies in Mumbai in December 2016. It achieved a price of INR 875,000.00 (€ 12,189.63), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicholas Roerich achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Himself Came in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 1,756,500.00 (€ 2,459,554.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Ladak von Nicholas Roerich kam im Dezember 2016 bei Christies in Mumbai zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von INR 875.000,00 (€ 12.189,63) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicholas Roerich erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Himself Came im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.756.500,00 (€ 2.459.554,43).
