Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Breaker by Chen Ke was auctioned at Phillips in Hong Kong in December 2020. It achieved a price of HKD 176,400.00 (€ 18,606.38), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Breaker von Chen Ke kam im Dezember 2020 bei Phillips in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 176.400,00 (€ 18.606,38) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 18%. 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).
