In September last year Christies in New York held the auction South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art, which included the work That Common Story by Rameshwar Broota. The »bidding war« ended at USD 201,600.00 (€ 206,071.76), 68% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rameshwar Broota - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Numbers, which sold at auction in May 2006 for USD 912,000.00 (€ 710,667.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
Im September letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit That Common Story von Rameshwar Broota zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 201.600,00 (€ 206.071,76) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Rameshwar Broota mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Numbers beobachtet, die im Mai 2006 für USD 912.000,00 (€ 710.667,81) versteigert wurde.
