Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
In March 2021 Christies in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Asia, which included the work Aged Frida & Diego by Chen Ke. The »bidding war« ended at USD 32,500.00 (€ 27,676.06), 63% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chen Ke achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Outside the Window in March this year with an auction result of HKD 5,080,000.00 (€ 594,816.04).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Im März 2021 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Asia durch, in der auch die Arbeit Aged Frida & Diego von Chen Ke zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 32.500,00 (€ 27.676,06) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chen Ke erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Outside the Window im März diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 5.080.000,00 (€ 594.816,04).
