In November 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art Online, which included the work Untitled (Landscape) by Ram Kumar. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,187.50 (€ 3,742.42), 28% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ram Kumar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Vagabond in March 2008 with an auction result of USD 1,161,000.00 (€ 734,577.67).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen
Im November 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (Landscape) von Ram Kumar zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.187,50 (€ 3.742,42) und damit 28% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ram Kumar erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Vagabond im März 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.161.000,00 (€ 734.577,67).
