In September 2021 Christies held the auction South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art, which included the work Figure by Tyeb Mehta. The »bidding war« ended at USD 400,000.00 (€ 345,512.65), 33% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Tyeb Mehta have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Durga Mahisasura Mardini in November 2018 with an auction result of INR 204,875,000.00 (€ 2,587,399.54).

Im September 2021 führte Christies die Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Figure von Tyeb Mehta zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 400.000,00 (€ 345.512,65) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Tyeb Mehta auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Durga Mahisasura Mardini im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von INR 204.875.000,00 (€ 2.587.399,54).
