Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work When I Construct a Way of Going Home #03 by Christine Ay Tjoe was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 700,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 3,000,000.00 (€ 339,812.69). Admittedly, works by Christine Ay Tjoe have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Layer As A Hiding Place in May last year with an auction result of HKD 13,050,000.00 (€ 1,549,315.07).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit When I Construct a Way of Going Home #03 von Christine Ay Tjoe im Dezember 2021 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 700.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 3.000.000,00 (€ 339.812,69) mehr als viermal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Christine Ay Tjoe auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Layer As A Hiding Place im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 13.050.000,00 (€ 1.549.315,07).
