Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.

In November 2020 Christies in London held the auction Matters of Material, which included the work Jemima 10 Cows  by Baba Tree. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,116.34), 67% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Baba Tree; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot I) Lingkaii) Special Bowliii) Toh-Baiyee sold at auction in November 2020 with the realized price of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,674.51).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.116,34) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Baba Tree; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit I) Lingkaii) Special Bowliii) Toh-Baiyee im November 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.674,51).
