Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Evening Prayer, Jama Masjid, 1985 by Raghu Rai was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2020. The price achieved of USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,200.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Raghu Rai - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Late Hours at Parliament House, which sold at auction in September last year for USD 6,930.00 (€ 7,083.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Evening Prayer, Jama Masjid, 1985 von Raghu Rai kam im September 2020 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.750,00 (€ 3.200,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Raghu Rai mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Late Hours at Parliament House beobachtet, die im September letzten Jahres für USD 6.930,00 (€ 7.083,72) versteigert wurde.
