The work Untitled (Pink Hydrangeas) by Sanyu was sold in the 20th Century Art Day Sale auction at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2021. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 21,850,000.00 (€ 2,474,969.08), 46% 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 um 46 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Untitled (Pink Hydrangeas) von Sanyu wurde im Dezember 2021 in der Auktion 20th Century Art Day Sale bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 21.850.000,00 (€ 2.474.969,08) und damit 46% 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).
