This artwork by Hsia Yan achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2006. In the 20th Century Chinese Art auction, the work Walker sold for HKD 384,000.00 (€ 37,238.82) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hsia Yan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pedestrian At Soho No.5, which sold at auction in April 2017 for HKD 850,000.00 (€ 100,330.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 92 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Hsia Yan erzielte im November 2006 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century Chinese Art wurde die Arbeit Walker für HKD 384.000,00 (€ 37.238,82) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 200.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Hsia Yan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pedestrian At Soho No.5 beobachtet, die im April 2017 für HKD 850.000,00 (€ 100.330,43) versteigert wurde.
