This artwork by Christina Quarles achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2021. In the 20th and 21st Century Art Evening Sale auction, the work But Baby, In Here Its Fine sold for HKD 4,125,000.00 (€ 436,044.37) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 2,000,000.00. Admittedly, works by Christina Quarles have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Night Fell Upon Us Up On Us in May last year with an auction result of USD 4,527,000.00 (€ 4,218,618.95).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Christina Quarles erzielte im Mai 2021 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th and 21st Century Art Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit But Baby, In Here Its Fine für HKD 4.125.000,00 (€ 436.044,37) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 2.000.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Christina Quarles auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Night Fell Upon Us Up On Us im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.527.000,00 (€ 4.218.618,95).
