In November 2011 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale), which included the work Center of Gravity by Hiroshi Kobayashi. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 325,000.00 (€ 31,091.58), 35% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hiroshi Kobayashi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Step into the Mist, which sold at auction in November 2009 for HKD 980,000.00 (€ 84,313.73).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Im November 2011 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Center of Gravity von Hiroshi Kobayashi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 325.000,00 (€ 31.091,58) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Hiroshi Kobayashi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Step into the Mist beobachtet, die im November 2009 für HKD 980.000,00 (€ 84.313,73) versteigert wurde.
