Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2007 Sothebys in London held the auction The Indian Sale, which included the work "The Marshes" by Balraj Khanna. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 7,200.00 (€ 10,595.29). 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2007 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion The Indian Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit "The Marshes" von Balraj Khanna zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 7.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 7.200,00 (€ 10.595,29) einen neuen Besitzer. 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.
