A top price for Budi Kustarto
When the work Tricycle Ice Cream (Construction Series) by Budi Kustarto was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 175,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 847,500.00 (€ 69,844.71). This high result makes Tricycle Ice Cream (Construction Series) the most expensive artwork by Budi Kustarto that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Budi Kustarto
Als die Arbeit Tricycle Ice Cream (Construction Series) von Budi Kustarto im April 2008 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 175.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 847.500,00 (€ 69.844,71) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Tricycle Ice Cream (Construction Series) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Budi Kustarto, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
