This artwork by Takashi Murakami achieved an unexpectedly high price at China Guardian in Hong Kong in April this year. In the Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art auction, the work Zen Ensō: Mugen (Painted In 2016) sold for HKD 3,360,000.00 (€ 3,431,217.39) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 1,200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Takashi Murakami - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work My Lonesome Cowboy, which sold at auction in May 2008 for USD 15,161,000.00 (€ 9,743,573.26).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Takashi Murakami erzielte im April diesen Jahres bei China Guardian in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Zen Ensō: Mugen (Painted In 2016) für HKD 3.360.000,00 (€ 3.431.217,39) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 1.200.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Takashi Murakami mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit My Lonesome Cowboy beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für USD 15.161.000,00 (€ 9.743.573,26) versteigert wurde.
