Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Untitled (Harvesters) by Ramkinkar Baij was sold in the South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in September 2013. The price achieved of USD 5,000.00 (€ 3,694.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ramkinkar Baij achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Festive Eve in December 2013 with an auction result of INR 5,250,000.00 (€ 61,724.36).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Untitled (Harvesters) von Ramkinkar Baij wurde im September 2013 in der Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.000,00 (€ 3.694,13) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ramkinkar Baij erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Festive Eve im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von INR 5.250.000,00 (€ 61.724,36).
