Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.

In November 2021 Bonhams in Hong Kong held the auction Modern and Contemporary Art, which included the work There are no good people by ob. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 277,500.00 (€ 30,855.19), 39% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by ob have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work I Wished that I May Gaze upon that Changing Forest Forever in May this year with an auction result of USD 165,100.00 (€ 154,965.27).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen

Im November 2021 führte Bonhams in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit There are no good people von ob zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 277.500,00 (€ 30.855,19) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von ob auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit I Wished that I May Gaze upon that Changing Forest Forever im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 165.100,00 (€ 154.965,27).
