A top price for Hikari Shimoda

When the work Whereabouts Of God No.31 by Hikari Shimoda was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in September 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 226,800.00 (€ 24,967.74). This high result makes Whereabouts Of God No.31 the most expensive artwork by Hikari Shimoda that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Hikari Shimoda

Als die Arbeit Whereabouts Of God No.31 von Hikari Shimoda im September 2020 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 226.800,00 (€ 24.967,74) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Whereabouts Of God No.31 zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Hikari Shimoda, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
