Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Zarina achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2021. In the Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art auction, the work without title sold for USD 40,320.00 (€ 34,335.35) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
