Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
In June 2019 Christies in London held the auction South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art, which included this untitled work by Sadequain. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,431.11), 50% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sadequain achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Qalandar in September 2015 with an auction result of USD 173,000.00 (€ 154,990.15).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Sadequain zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.431,11) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sadequain erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Qalandar im September 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 173.000,00 (€ 154.990,15).
