A top price for Dadang Christanto
When the work Heads With Silver by Dadang Christanto was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 450,000.00 (€ 45,773.54). This high result makes Heads With Silver the most expensive artwork by Dadang Christanto that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Dadang Christanto
Als die Arbeit Heads With Silver von Dadang Christanto im Oktober 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 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 450.000,00 (€ 45.773,54) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Heads With Silver zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Dadang Christanto, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
