Auction result well in line with expectations
In December last year Phillips in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale in association with Yongle, which included the work Girl with Balloon & Morons Sepia by Banksy. The price achieved of HKD 5,670,000.00 (€ 679,467.19) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 4,500,000.00 – 6,500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Banksy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Love is in the Bin in October 2021 with an auction result of GBP 18,582,000.00 (€ 22,014,651.32).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Phillips in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale in association with Yongle durch, in der auch die Arbeit Girl with Balloon & Morons Sepia von Banksy zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 5.670.000,00 (€ 679.467,19) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 4.500.000,00 – 6.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Banksy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Love is in the Bin im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.582.000,00 (€ 22.014.651,32).
