Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Zarina achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March last year. In the Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art auction, the work Road Lines sold for USD 40,320.00 (€ 36,347.25) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Admittedly, works by Zarina have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Tasbih (Gold) in March last year with an auction result of USD 365,400.00 (€ 329,396.92).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Zarina erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art wurde die Arbeit Road Lines für USD 40.320,00 (€ 36.347,25) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Zarina auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Tasbih (Gold) im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 365.400,00 (€ 329.396,92).
