Upper estimate price exceeded by 42 %.

The work Bhutpatrir Desh (The Land Of Ghosts And Goblins) by Abanindranath Tagore was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2013. It achieved a price of USD 21,250.00 (€ 15,700.04), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 42%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Abanindranath Tagore achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Siva-Simantini) in September 2013 with an auction result of USD 555,750.00 (€ 410,602.14).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 42 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Bhutpatrir Desh (The Land Of Ghosts And Goblins) von Abanindranath Tagore kam im September 2013 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 21.250,00 (€ 15.700,04) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 42%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Abanindranath Tagore erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Siva-Simantini) im September 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 555.750,00 (€ 410.602,14).
