In November 2011 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale), which included the work Warm Bed by He Sen. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 400,000.00 (€ 38,266.56), 33% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by He Sen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cigarettes And Alcohol, which sold at auction in April 2008 for HKD 1,687,500.00 (€ 139,071.33).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
Im November 2011 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Warm Bed von He Sen zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 400.000,00 (€ 38.266,56) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von He Sen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cigarettes And Alcohol beobachtet, die im April 2008 für HKD 1.687.500,00 (€ 139.071,33) versteigert wurde.
