Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Wave, 300R #393 by Takamatsu Jiro was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 1,187,500.00 (€ 135,172.08). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Takamatsu Jiro - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Shadow No. 199, which sold at auction in October 2015 for GBP 206,500.00 (€ 288,841.92).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Wave, 300R #393 von Takamatsu Jiro im April 2019 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 200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 1.187.500,00 (€ 135.172,08) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Takamatsu Jiro mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Shadow No. 199 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2015 für GBP 206.500,00 (€ 288.841,92) versteigert wurde.
