Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2017 Christies in New York held the auction First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work Angry Portrait by Hyon Gyon. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,699.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hyon Gyon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work I Was Broken in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 62,500.00 (€ 59,174.40).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Angry Portrait von Hyon Gyon zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.699,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hyon Gyon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit I Was Broken im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 59.174,40).
