Auction result well in line with expectations
The work In The Coconut Groves by Bhupen Khakhar was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2020. The price achieved of USD 237,500.00 (€ 215,341.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bhupen Khakhar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Residency Bungalow in June this year with an auction result of GBP 1,984,400.00 (€ 2,309,499.96).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit In The Coconut Groves von Bhupen Khakhar kam im März 2020 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 237.500,00 (€ 215.341,37) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bhupen Khakhar erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Residency Bungalow im Juni diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.984.400,00 (€ 2.309.499,96).
