Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2014 Christies in New York held the auction South Asian Modern + Contemporary, which included the work Untitled (Torso) by Sarbari Roy Choudhury. The price achieved of USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,721.93) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sarbari Roy Choudhury - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Skipping (Edition 4 Of 9), which sold at auction in September 2012 for USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,723.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2014 führte Christies in New York die Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (Torso) von Sarbari Roy Choudhury zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.721,93) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Sarbari Roy Choudhury mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Skipping (Edition 4 Of 9) beobachtet, die im September 2012 für USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.723,09) versteigert wurde.
