Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2012 Christies in New York held the auction South Asian Modern and Contemporary Art, which included the work She was Primitive and Childish but Escaped Extinction by Playing into Public Curiosity by Rina Banerjee. The price achieved of USD 15,000.00 (€ 11,249.44) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rina Banerjee - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work In what seemed at first a monster's colonial dream, leprechauns of amber body and agile mind blew west wondering what it would be like to leave land, ocean, bird, bear, feline and the bounty of horned beasts, to leave our nature for culture, which sold at auction in March 2013 for USD 30,000.00 (€ 23,408.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2012 führte Christies in New York die Auktion South Asian Modern and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit She was Primitive and Childish but Escaped Extinction by Playing into Public Curiosity von Rina Banerjee zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 11.249,44) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Rina Banerjee mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit In what seemed at first a monster's colonial dream, leprechauns of amber body and agile mind blew west wondering what it would be like to leave land, ocean, bird, bear, feline and the bounty of horned beasts, to leave our nature for culture beobachtet, die im März 2013 für USD 30.000,00 (€ 23.408,24) versteigert wurde.
