Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October last year China Guardian held the auction Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art, which included the work Lady with Hat by Sanyu. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 312,000.00 (€ 39,981.48), 25% above the upper estimate. 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 Oktober letzten Jahres führte China Guardian die Auktion Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lady with Hat von Sanyu zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 312.000,00 (€ 39.981,48) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
