Prinseps’ recent back to back online auctions for books and prints saw strong results across the board with the bidding time extended on multiple lots in the prints auction due to a flurry of last minute bids. The auctions highlighted Prinseps’ ongoing success in the spaces of rare collectables and modern Indian art.  The ​prints auction​, which went live from 10 to 11 September made a total of ​47,26,800 INR (including buyers premium) highlights included ​Somnath Hore’s ​Wounds ​ selling for double the high estimate, with the winning bid at 9,00,000 INR. The work is part of the artist’s paper pulp print series from his experiments in the 1970s.​Wounds represent the theme of war, starvation and human suffering, that carry resonance in today’s challenging climate. Other highlights of the sale included prints by leading modernists V. S. Gaitonde, Francis Newton Souza and
