Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Kimono Temple by Haegue Yang was sold in the 20th and 21st Century Art Afternoon Session auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2021. It changed hands for a price of HKD 275,000.00 (€ 29,069.62) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 180,000.00 – 280,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Haegue Yang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Central Composition in Explosion – Trustworthy ‘For Sophie Taeuber’ #184, which sold at auction in July 2020 for HKD 812,500.00 (€ 89,020.30).
