Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Untitled (Nightscape) by Sadanand Bakre was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 47,880.00 (€ 43,162.35). Admittedly, works by Sadanand Bakre have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in November 2018 with an auction result of INR 18,750,000.00 (€ 236,796.79).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Untitled (Nightscape) von Sadanand Bakre im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 47.880,00 (€ 43.162,35) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sadanand Bakre auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von INR 18.750.000,00 (€ 236.796,79).
