Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Two Monkeys in Winter by Atsushi Kaga was worth HKD 693,000.00 (€ 84,332.98) to a buyer in June last year. This price was achieved in the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale at Phillips in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 180,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Atsushi Kaga - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Breakfast in January, which sold at auction in May this year for HKD 2,520,000.00 (€ 302,049.93).
