Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Taera (Divine Music) by Kazuo Shiraga was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2021. It achieved a price of HKD 4,125,000.00 (€ 436,044.37), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kazuo Shiraga achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Takao in June 2018 with an auction result of EUR 8,731,400.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Taera (Divine Music) von Kazuo Shiraga kam im Mai 2021 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 4.125.000,00 (€ 436.044,37) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 18%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kazuo Shiraga erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Takao im Juni 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 8.731.400,00.
