A top price for Kum Chi Keung
When the work Bamboo by Kum Chi Keung was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 90,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 275,000.00 (€ 27,376.91). This high result makes Bamboo the most expensive artwork by Kum Chi Keung that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Kum Chi Keung
Als die Arbeit Bamboo von Kum Chi Keung im Oktober 2012 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 90.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 275.000,00 (€ 27.376,91) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Bamboo zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Kum Chi Keung, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
