In May 2008 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale), which included the work Moonsault by Hiroshi Kobayashi. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 367,500.00 (€ 30,254.98), 53% 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 53 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2008 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Moonsault von Hiroshi Kobayashi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 367.500,00 (€ 30.254,98) und damit 53% 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.
