Upper estimate price exceeded by 44 %.
The work Landscape by Kun Can was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2006. It achieved a price of HKD 288,000.00 (€ 27,929.12), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 44%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kun Can achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sleeping On The Rock in October 2014 with an auction result of HKD 5,290,000.00 (€ 544,620.91).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 44 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Landscape von Kun Can kam im November 2006 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 288.000,00 (€ 27.929,12) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 44%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kun Can erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sleeping On The Rock im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 5.290.000,00 (€ 544.620,91).
