This artwork by Chintan Upadhyay achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2007. In the Asian Contemporary Art auction, the work Sorry Does Not Make Any Difference II sold for HKD 576,000.00 (€ 54,846.95) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chintan Upadhyay - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Together For Life Whether We Like It Or Not, which sold at auction in October 2008 for HKD 1,100,000.00 (€ 111,890.87).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Chintan Upadhyay erzielte im Mai 2007 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Sorry Does Not Make Any Difference II für HKD 576.000,00 (€ 54.846,95) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 200.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Chintan Upadhyay mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Together For Life Whether We Like It Or Not beobachtet, die im Oktober 2008 für HKD 1.100.000,00 (€ 111.890,87) versteigert wurde.
