Artwork auctioned at 16 times the upper estimate price
The work The Uncomplete Encyclopedia of Ideas and Wisdom by Atsushi Kaga was worth HKD 1,500,000.00 (€ 169,906.34) to a buyer in December 2021. This price was achieved in the auction 21st Century Art Day Sale at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 90,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Atsushi Kaga; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A Breakfast in January sold at auction in May this year with the realized price of HKD 2,520,000.00 (€ 302,049.93).
