Upper estimate price exceeded by 73 %.
The work Couple in the Cream Room by Genieve Figgis was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. It achieved a price of HKD 1,386,000.00 (€ 164,547.95), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 73%. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 73 % übertroffen

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 1.386.000,00 (€ 164.547,95) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 73%. Für andere Arbeiten von Genieve Figgis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Debutants Ball beobachtet, die im März letzten Jahres für CNY 4.032.000,00 (€ 573.196,07) versteigert wurde.
