Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Refuge by Anju Dodiya was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 72,000.00 (€ 53,835.80). Admittedly, works by Anju Dodiya have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Cocoon in September last year with an auction result of USD 327,600.00 (€ 334,866.61).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Refuge von Anju Dodiya im März 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 72.000,00 (€ 53.835,80) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Anju Dodiya auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Cocoon im September letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 327.600,00 (€ 334.866,61).
