Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Head of a Horse by Tyeb Mehta was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2018. The price achieved of USD 37,500.00 (€ 30,438.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tyeb Mehta achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Durga Mahisasura Mardini in November 2018 with an auction result of INR 204,875,000.00 (€ 2,587,399.54).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Head of a Horse von Tyeb Mehta kam im März 2018 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 37.500,00 (€ 30.438,31) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tyeb Mehta erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Durga Mahisasura Mardini im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von INR 204.875.000,00 (€ 2.587.399,54).
