Auction result well in line with expectations
This work without title by Vasudeo S. Gaitonde was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2016. It changed hands for a price of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 36,205.98) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vasudeo S. Gaitonde achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in September 2017 with an auction result of USD 4,092,500.00 (€ 3,464,403.62).
