This section showcases auction lots that achieved record-high sale prices, tracked by the date each record was set based on the artist's historical auction data.

Public Auction Market (1987–2026) | Select Indicators

  1. Average Sale Price Per Lot
  2. Square Inch Rate Trend
Currency

Average Sale Price Per Lot

This measure calculates the Average Sale Price of all lots by A. Ramachandran sold each year.
It smooths out fluctuations caused by the quantity of works offered and focuses on the Average Sale Price level per artwork.

Analysis reflected in the chart:
Rising average sale prices indicate growing collector confidence and a stronger willingness to pay higher amounts per work. Assuming the mix of mediums remains relatively stable over time, the proportion of works on paper typically priced lower than works on canvas adds important context to understanding these market movements.

Square Inch Rate Trend

The Square Inch Rate normalizes prices by the size of each artwork, showing the average sale value per square inch over time.
This allows fair comparisons between smaller works and larger canvases.

Analysis reflected in the chart:
The Square Inch Rate shown in the graph combines various medium types such as canvas, paper, board, and others. Historically, works on canvas and board have broadly commanded higher prices compared to works on paper.
