This artwork by Jigger Cruz achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2015. In the Modern & Contemporary Southeast Asian Art auction, the work Hello Poetry sold for HKD 525,000.00 (€ 61,334.00) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 185,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jigger Cruz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Jazz In A Restless Landscape Of Silhouettes And Screeches, which sold at auction in April 2015 for HKD 1,125,000.00 (€ 130,017.02).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Southeast Asian Art wurde die Arbeit Hello Poetry für HKD 525.000,00 (€ 61.334,00) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 185.000,00.
