DeRivaz & Ives · Modern Indian Art of BengalOnline · 07 May 2022
Humour and liveliness are two important elements in my mental make-up as an artist. I have always tried to live life fully and to consciously avoid stagnation in all forms. A life without humour is inconceivable to me. To be alive is to be able to laugh. And I enjoy laughing most, when I succeed in cracking a joke at my own cost, whether that be in the conduct of my daily life or in my painting.

  2. Average Sale Price Per Lot
  3. Square Inch Rate Trend

Annual Auction Sale Turnover

This indicator tracks the Total Annual Auction Sales value of Paritosh Sen’s artworks, beginning in 1987 through to the present.
It aggregates all sales across global auction houses into yearly totals.

Analysis reflected in the chart:
The turnover graph highlights periods of strong growth, moments of market correction, and resilience during downturns. Peaks often align with landmark works coming to public auction, while troughs may indicate reduced supply or weaker demand. Over time, the curve illustrates the overall trajectory of Paritosh Sen’s public auction market presence.

Average Sale Price Per Lot

This measure calculates the Average Sale Price of all lots by Paritosh Sen 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.
