Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Tetsutaro Kamatani could be acquired at Phillips in Hong Kong in May 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale auction, the work Proliferation - lips changed hands for HKD 50,000.00 (€ 5,722.49) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 70,000.00 – 90,000.00. Admittedly, works by Tetsutaro Kamatani have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Human Paradise II-bird, in November 2007 with an auction result of HKD 367,500.00 (€ 32,126.23).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Tetsutaro Kamatani konnte im Mai 2019 bei Phillips in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale wechselte die Arbeit Proliferation - lips für HKD 50.000,00 (€ 5.722,49) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 70.000,00 – 90.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Tetsutaro Kamatani auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Human Paradise II-bird, im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 367.500,00 (€ 32.126,23).
