Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Untitled (Seated Lady) by Tyeb Mehta was sold in the South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in July 2020. The price achieved of USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,184.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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 Untitled (Seated Lady) von Tyeb Mehta wurde im Juli 2020 in der Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.750,00 (€ 3.184,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 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).
