This artwork by Tadao Ando achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2016. In the Contemporary Asian Art auction, the work (I) Church Of Light (Ii) Church Of Water (Set Of Two) sold for HKD 150,000.00 (€ 16,899.75) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00. Admittedly, works by Tadao Ando have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Red Tea House in February 2008 with an auction result of USD 110,000.00 (€ 72,430.37).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Tadao Ando erzielte im April 2016 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Asian Art wurde die Arbeit (I) Church Of Light (Ii) Church Of Water (Set Of Two) für HKD 150.000,00 (€ 16.899,75) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 80.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Tadao Ando auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Red Tea House im Februar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 110.000,00 (€ 72.430,37).
