NEW DELHI : Over eight pieces of art work have sold for close to ₹30 crore at the Pundole's The Fine Art Sale this week in Mumbai. In a dynamic saleroom at the gallery in Hamilton House, the anticipated sale of 83 lots from the collections of Nandlal Bandhopadhyay and others sold for about ₹42.68 crore hammer price, excluding commissions and taxes, surpassing the gallery's expected high estimate of ₹24.09 crore. A total of 81 of the 83 lots on offer were sold. Francis Newton Souza’s Couple - a seminal work from the artist’s oeuvre - from 1964 fetched ₹7 crore at the auction. Akbar Padamsee’s Grey Nude from 1960 from a private collection in Mumbai fetched ₹4 crore, exceeding its pre-sale estimate of ₹1.5-2.5 crore. Mallika Sagar, a specialist in Modern and Contemporary Indian art and Pundole's auctioneer, said they saw strong bidding across a range of artists and new world auction records were set for several as well. "We were also fortunate to have a superlative group of NS Bendre's, representing some of the strongest works to come in to the market," she said.
