Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Chen Ke achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in Hong Kong in December 2020. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale in Association with Poly Auction auction, the work I see you and I see myself sold for HKD 378,000.00 (€ 39,870.81) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 150,000.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Chen Ke erzielte im Dezember 2020 bei Phillips in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale in Association with Poly Auction wurde die Arbeit I see you and I see myself für HKD 378.000,00 (€ 39.870,81) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 150.000,00. 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).
