The work The Overly Prepped Boy (or The Approaching Glacier) by Hernan Bas was sold in the 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 9,810,000.00 (€ 1,164,657.53), 64% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hernan Bas; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Bats and the Barn Bridge sold at auction in November last year with the realized price of HKD 11,250,000.00 (€ 1,396,033.13).
