Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Untitled (Two Women With Dogs); Untitled (Two Women); Untitled (Woman With Deer); Untitled (Village Scene) by Rasik Durgashanker Raval was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,266.42). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rasik Durgashanker Raval - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lovers, which sold at auction in March 2006 for USD 18,000.00 (€ 14,828.24).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Two Women With Dogs); Untitled (Two Women); Untitled (Woman With Deer); Untitled (Village Scene) von Rasik Durgashanker Raval im Oktober 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.625,00 (€ 6.266,42) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Rasik Durgashanker Raval mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Lovers beobachtet, die im März 2006 für USD 18.000,00 (€ 14.828,24) versteigert wurde.
