In November 2018 Sothebys in Mumbai held the auction Boundless: India, which included the work Whirlpool by Krishna Reddy. The »bidding war« ended at INR 475,000.00 (€ 5,998.85), 58% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Krishna Reddy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Group Of Trees), which sold at auction in November 2018 for INR 1,062,500.00 (€ 13,418.48).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
