This artwork by Prodosh Dasgupta achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2018. In the Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art auction, the work Refugee Couple sold for USD 35,000.00 (€ 28,409.09) - well above the upper estimate of USD 18,000.00. 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).
