Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work Happy Zodiac by Tomokazu Matsuyama was worth HKD 3,250,000.00 (€ 343,550.11) to a buyer in May 2021. This price was achieved in the auction 20th and 21st Century Art Afternoon Session at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 500,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Tomokazu Matsuyama; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Something Came Together sold at auction in April last year with the realized price of HKD 5,040,000.00 (€ 609,372.69).
