This artwork by Nandalal Bose achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September last year. In the South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art auction, the work Savitri and Yama; Kaikeyi and Manthara sold for USD 13,860.00 (€ 14,167.43) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by Nandalal Bose have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Bull Fighter in September 2013 with an auction result of USD 147,750.00 (€ 109,161.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Nandalal Bose erzielte im September letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Savitri and Yama; Kaikeyi and Manthara für USD 13.860,00 (€ 14.167,43) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Nandalal Bose auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Bull Fighter im September 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 147.750,00 (€ 109.161,43).
