Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work 'Conoid' dining table by George Nakashima was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale in Association with Poly Auction auction at Phillips in Hong Kong in June 2021. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 302,400.00 (€ 32,848.48), 21% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Nakashima - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Exceptional free-form “Minguren I” coffee table, which sold at auction in May 2010 for USD 86,500.00 (€ 69,932.90).
