Despite a disappointment, a good price for Bharti Kher
When the work The Skin Speaks A Language Not Its Own by Bharti Kher was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,800,000.00 – 2,500,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,785,000.00 (€ 1,374,345.55). Despite this disappointing result, The Skin Speaks A Language Not Its Own is the most expensive artwork by Bharti Kher that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Bharti Kher
Als die Arbeit The Skin Speaks A Language Not Its Own von Bharti Kher im Mai 2013 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.800.000,00 – 2.500.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.785.000,00 (€ 1.374.345,55) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The Skin Speaks A Language Not Its Own das teuerste Kunstwerk von Bharti Kher, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
