Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price

When the work Three Boys by Salman Toor was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 750,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at HKD 5,620,000.00 (€ 601,709.06). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Salman Toor; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot 4 Guests sold at auction in November last year with the realized price of USD 856,800.00 (€ 829,991.28).

Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Three Boys von Salman Toor im April 2021 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 750.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 5.620.000,00 (€ 601.709,06) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Salman Toor; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit 4 Guests im November letzten Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 856.800,00 (€ 829.991,28).
