Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April this year China Guardian in Hong Kong held the auction Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art, which included the work Back Of The Nude (Painted From 1920S To 1930S) by Sanyu. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 230,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 240,000.00 (€ 245,086.96). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sanyu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Five Nudes in November 2019 with an auction result of HKD 303,985,000.00 (€ 35,256,632.18).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April diesen Jahres führte China Guardian in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Back Of The Nude (Painted From 1920S To 1930S) von Sanyu zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 230.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 240.000,00 (€ 245.086,96) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sanyu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Five Nudes im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 303.985.000,00 (€ 35.256.632,18).
