Artwork auctioned at nine times the upper estimate price
The work 53 Cellulose Hou by Kazuo Shiraga was worth HKD 2,772,000.00 (€ 332,254.93) to a buyer in May this year. This price was achieved in the auction 20th Century Art Day Sale at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 280,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kazuo Shiraga achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Takao in June 2018 with an auction result of EUR 8,731,400.00.

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Takao im Juni 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 8.731.400,00.
