Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work An Evening Portrait by Genieve Figgis was worth HKD 1,625,000.00 (€ 171,775.05) to a buyer in May 2021. This price was achieved in the auction 20th and 21st Century Art Evening Sale at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 300,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Genieve Figgis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Debutants Ball, which sold at auction in March last year for CNY 4,032,000.00 (€ 573,196.07).
