This artwork by Genieve Figgis achieved an unexpectedly high price at POLY in Hong Kong in June 2021. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art and Design Day Sale in association with Phillips auction, the work The Visit of Venus to Vulcan sold for HKD 2,520,000.00 (€ 273,737.34) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 900,000.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
