Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work Divinité (Divinity) by Vu Cao Dam was worth HKD 945,000.00 (€ 112,191.78) to a buyer in May last year. This price was achieved in the auction 20th Century Art Day Sale at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 150,000.00 many times over. Admittedly, works by Vu Cao Dam have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Femmes au bain (Women Bathing) in December 2020 with an auction result of HKD 8,050,000.00 (€ 849,100.57).
