Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Happy Birthday by Hiroshi Kobayashi was sold in the Asian Contemporary Sale (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2008. The price achieved of HKD 275,000.00 (€ 25,486.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 220,000.00 – 320,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Happy Birthday von Hiroshi Kobayashi wurde im Dezember 2008 in der Auktion Asian Contemporary Sale (Day Sale) bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 275.000,00 (€ 25.486,74) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 220.000,00 – 320.000,00 angegeben worden. 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.
