Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Art Cargo Under Black Cloud by Vivan Sundaram was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2007. The price achieved of GBP 2,400.00 (€ 3,531.76) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vivan Sundaram achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Passage in March 2006 with an auction result of USD 51,000.00 (€ 42,013.35).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Art Cargo Under Black Cloud von Vivan Sundaram kam im Mai 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.400,00 (€ 3.531,76) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Vivan Sundaram erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Passage im März 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 51.000,00 (€ 42.013,35).
