A top price for Prabhakar Barwe
When the work The Chess-Board by Prabhakar Barwe was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 302,400.00 (€ 333,445.16). This high result makes The Chess-Board the most expensive artwork by Prabhakar Barwe that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Prabhakar Barwe
Als die Arbeit The Chess-Board von Prabhakar Barwe im September 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 302.400,00 (€ 333.445,16) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Chess-Board zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Prabhakar Barwe, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
