Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.
The work Marilyn Monroe vs Mao Zedong by Kim Dong-Yoo was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2011. It achieved a price of HKD 350,000.00 (€ 31,309.13), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 35%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kim Dong-Yoo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mao Vs. Monroe in February 2008 with an auction result of GBP 345,300.00 (€ 451,638.85).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Marilyn Monroe vs Mao Zedong von Kim Dong-Yoo kam im Mai 2011 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 350.000,00 (€ 31.309,13) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 35%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kim Dong-Yoo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mao Vs. Monroe im Februar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 345.300,00 (€ 451.638,85).
