Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Touch of Mercury by Hajime Sorayama was auctioned at Phillips in an online auction in September last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 16,380.00 (€ 2,131.43). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hajime Sorayama achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sexy Robot, Life Size Seating Model B in December 2021 with an auction result of HKD 5,750,000.00 (€ 651,307.65).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Touch of Mercury von Hajime Sorayama im September letzten Jahres bei Phillips in einer Online-Auktion versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 16.380,00 (€ 2.131,43) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hajime Sorayama erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sexy Robot, Life Size Seating Model B im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 5.750.000,00 (€ 651.307,65).
