Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Mother And Child Reclining by Prodosh Dasgupta was auctioned at Sothebys in Mumbai in November 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - INR 700,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at INR 2,125,000.00 (€ 26,836.97). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Prodosh Dasgupta; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Broken Idol sold at auction in October 2015 with the realized price of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 38,465.63).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Mother And Child Reclining von Prodosh Dasgupta im November 2018 bei Sothebys in Mumbai versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – INR 700.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit INR 2.125.000,00 (€ 26.836,97) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Prodosh Dasgupta; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Broken Idol im Oktober 2015 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 38.465,63).
