Auction result misses estimated price range
In September 2006 a collector was able to acquire the work English Channel by Balraj Khanna for USD 11,400.00 (€ 8,985.58). This price was achieved in the auction Indian Art Including Miniatures & Modern Indian Paintings at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Balraj Khanna - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 20,900.00 (€ 26,585.71).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im September 2006 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit English Channel von Balraj Khanna für USD 11.400,00 (€ 8.985,58) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Indian Art Including Miniatures & Modern Indian Paintings bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Balraj Khanna mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für GBP 20.900,00 (€ 26.585,71) versteigert wurde.
