A top price for Hernan Bas - as previously expected

In November last year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale, which included the work The Bats and the Barn Bridge by Hernan Bas. The price achieved of HKD 11,250,000.00 (€ 1,396,033.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 9,000,000.00 – 15,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Bats and the Barn Bridge is the most expensive artwork by Hernan Bas that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im November letzten Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Bats and the Barn Bridge von Hernan Bas zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 11.250.000,00 (€ 1.396.033,13) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 9.000.000,00 – 15.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Bats and the Barn Bridge das teuerste Kunstwerk von Hernan Bas, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
