A top price for Eisuke Sato
When the work Untitled & Self Portrait by Eisuke Sato was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 187,500.00 (€ 15,436.21). This high result makes Untitled & Self Portrait the most expensive artwork by Eisuke Sato that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Eisuke Sato
Als die Arbeit Untitled & Self Portrait von Eisuke Sato im Mai 2008 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 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 187.500,00 (€ 15.436,21) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Untitled & Self Portrait zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Eisuke Sato, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
