Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Stranded Beyond The Scream Of Symmetries by Jigger Cruz was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at HKD 937,500.00 (€ 87,193.58). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jigger Cruz; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Jazz In A Restless Landscape Of Silhouettes And Screeches sold at auction in April 2015 with the realized price of HKD 1,125,000.00 (€ 130,017.02).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Stranded Beyond The Scream Of Symmetries von Jigger Cruz im April 2014 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 937.500,00 (€ 87.193,58) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Jigger Cruz; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Jazz In A Restless Landscape Of Silhouettes And Screeches im April 2015 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 1.125.000,00 (€ 130.017,02).
