Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Beauty and the Beast by Satish Gujral was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 32,760.00 (€ 27,897.47). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Satish Gujral - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Despair, which sold at auction in September 2016 for USD 125,000.00 (€ 111,229.76).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Beauty and the Beast von Satish Gujral im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 32.760,00 (€ 27.897,47) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Satish Gujral mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Despair beobachtet, die im September 2016 für USD 125.000,00 (€ 111.229,76) versteigert wurde.
