A top price for Raghav Babbar

When the work Off Duty by Raghav Babbar was auctioned at Phillips in Hong Kong in December last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 250,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 20 times as high at HKD 5,040,000.00 (€ 603,970.84). This high result makes Off Duty the most expensive artwork by Raghav Babbar that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Raghav Babbar

Als die Arbeit Off Duty von Raghav Babbar im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Phillips in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 250.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 5.040.000,00 (€ 603.970,84) mehr als 20-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Off Duty zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Raghav Babbar, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
