Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2019 Sothebys in Mumbai held the auction Boundless: India, which included the work Tiger And Stag by Bhupen Khakhar. Here, the upper estimate of INR 50,000,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for INR 50,575,000.00 (€ 637,982.12). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bhupen Khakhar - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Residency Bungalow, which sold at auction in June this year for GBP 1,984,400.00 (€ 2,309,499.96).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2019 führte Sothebys in Mumbai die Auktion Boundless: India durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tiger And Stag von Bhupen Khakhar zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von INR 50.000.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für INR 50.575.000,00 (€ 637.982,12) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Bhupen Khakhar mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Residency Bungalow beobachtet, die im Juni diesen Jahres für GBP 1.984.400,00 (€ 2.309.499,96) versteigert wurde.
