Auction result well in line with expectations
In November last year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale, which included the work Escaping from the dark by George Condo. The price achieved of HKD 36,450,000.00 (€ 4,523,147.34) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 32,000,000.00 – 48,000,000.00. Other works by George Condo have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in May 2018 the work Nude and Forms was auctioned for USD 6,162,500.00 (€ 5,280,634.10).
