This artwork by Hiroshi Kobayashi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2008. In the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction, the work Challenging Spirit sold for HKD 727,500.00 (€ 59,892.51) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 300,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hiroshi Kobayashi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Step into the Mist sold at auction in November 2009 with the realized price of HKD 980,000.00 (€ 84,313.73).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Hiroshi Kobayashi erzielte im Mai 2008 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) wurde die Arbeit Challenging Spirit für HKD 727.500,00 (€ 59.892,51) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 300.000,00. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Hiroshi Kobayashi; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Step into the Mist im November 2009 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 980.000,00 (€ 84.313,73).
