Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2012 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale), which included the work Self-Portrait on a Certain Ranch; & Unfamiliar Street by Choi Byung Jin. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 48,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 50,000.00 (€ 4,957.72). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Choi Byung Jin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bang Mang-I & Bang Deng-I, which sold at auction in November 2007 for HKD 187,500.00 (€ 16,390.93).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2012 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Self-Portrait on a Certain Ranch; & Unfamiliar Street von Choi Byung Jin zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 48.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 50.000,00 (€ 4.957,72) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Choi Byung Jin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bang Mang-I & Bang Deng-I beobachtet, die im November 2007 für HKD 187.500,00 (€ 16.390,93) versteigert wurde.
