Auction result well in line with expectations

In September 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art, which included the work Lingam Ii by Piraji Sagara. The price achieved of GBP 10,080.00 (€ 11,114.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Piraji Sagara - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Cityscape), which sold at auction in November 2019 for INR 2,750,000.00 (€ 34,690.08).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im September 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lingam Ii von Piraji Sagara zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.080,00 (€ 11.114,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Piraji Sagara mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled (Cityscape) beobachtet, die im November 2019 für INR 2.750.000,00 (€ 34.690,08) versteigert wurde.
