Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.
The work Thinker by Ang Kiukok was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. It achieved a price of HKD 781,200.00 (€ 92,745.21), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 30%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ang Kiukok - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fishermen, which sold at auction in October 2013 for HKD 3,760,000.00 (€ 356,804.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 30 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Thinker von Ang Kiukok kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 781.200,00 (€ 92.745,21) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 30%. Für andere Arbeiten von Ang Kiukok mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Fishermen beobachtet, die im Oktober 2013 für HKD 3.760.000,00 (€ 356.804,47) versteigert wurde.
