Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art, which included the work I Beg Your Pardon: The Scorpion Act Ii - An Actor Meditating On A Character Of An Imaginary Play by Surendran Nair. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 35,113.53) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Surendran Nair - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Labyrinth Of Eternal Delight, which sold at auction in December 2014 for INR 6,225,000.00 (€ 81,278.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2014 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary South Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit I Beg Your Pardon: The Scorpion Act Ii - An Actor Meditating On A Character Of An Imaginary Play von Surendran Nair zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 35.113,53) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Surendran Nair mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Labyrinth Of Eternal Delight beobachtet, die im Dezember 2014 für INR 6.225.000,00 (€ 81.278,41) versteigert wurde.
