A top price for Gigi Scaria
When the work Someone Left a Horse on the Shore by Gigi Scaria was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 90,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 487,500.00 (€ 42,616.42). This high result makes Someone Left a Horse on the Shore the most expensive artwork by Gigi Scaria that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Gigi Scaria
Als die Arbeit Someone Left a Horse on the Shore von Gigi Scaria im November 2007 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 90.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 487.500,00 (€ 42.616,42) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Someone Left a Horse on the Shore zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Gigi Scaria, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
