Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2001 Christies in London held the auction Islamic & Indian Works of Art, which included the work Hookah Base by Ramesh Sharma. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 329.00 (€ 551.58) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ramesh Sharma - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Deers head axe, which sold at auction in October 2001 for GBP 1,175.00 (€ 1,898.97).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion Islamic & Indian Works of Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hookah Base von Ramesh Sharma zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 329,00 (€ 551,58) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Ramesh Sharma mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Deers head axe beobachtet, die im Oktober 2001 für GBP 1.175,00 (€ 1.898,97) versteigert wurde.
