Auction result misses estimated price range
In June last year a collector was able to acquire the work Who Told Them We Were Coming? by Hernan Bas for HKD 3,528,000.00 (€ 429,331.55). This price was achieved in the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale at Phillips in Hong Kong and was even below the estimate range of HKD 4,000,000.00 – 6,000,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hernan Bas - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Bats and the Barn Bridge, which sold at auction in November last year for HKD 11,250,000.00 (€ 1,396,033.13).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juni letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Who Told Them We Were Coming? von Hernan Bas für HKD 3.528.000,00 (€ 429.331,55) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale bei Phillips in Hong Kong erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 4.000.000,00 – 6.000.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Hernan Bas mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Bats and the Barn Bridge beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für HKD 11.250.000,00 (€ 1.396.033,13) versteigert wurde.
