Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2001 a collector was able to acquire the work Mango Tree by Ramesh Sharma for GBP 493.50 (€ 797.57). This price was achieved in the auction Islamic and Indian Works of Art at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00 set by the auction house. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2001 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Mango Tree von Ramesh Sharma für GBP 493,50 (€ 797,57) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Islamic and Indian Works of Art bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00. 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.
