A top price for Irene Chou

When the work The Universe Lies Within by Irene Chou was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in June 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 437,500.00 (€ 50,598.44). This high result makes The Universe Lies Within the most expensive artwork by Irene Chou that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Irene Chou

Als die Arbeit The Universe Lies Within von Irene Chou im Juni 2015 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 437.500,00 (€ 50.598,44) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Universe Lies Within zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Irene Chou, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
