Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Jiro Yoshihara could be acquired at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2016 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale) auction, the work UNTITLED changed hands for HKD 1,860,000.00 (€ 226,653.43) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 2,500,000.00 – 3,500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jiro Yoshihara - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Work, which sold at auction in October 2015 for HKD 4,880,000.00 (€ 570,114.11).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jiro Yoshihara konnte im November 2016 bei Christies in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale) wechselte die Arbeit UNTITLED für HKD 1.860.000,00 (€ 226.653,43) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 2.500.000,00 – 3.500.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jiro Yoshihara mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Work beobachtet, die im Oktober 2015 für HKD 4.880.000,00 (€ 570.114,11) versteigert wurde.
