Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April this year POLY in Grand Hyatt Hong Kong held the auction Modern and Contemporary Art, which included the work Lady Sketching by Sanyu. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 250,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 264,000.00 (€ 269,595.65). 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 POLY in Grand Hyatt Hong Kong die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lady Sketching von Sanyu zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 250.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 264.000,00 (€ 269.595,65) 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).
