A top price for Kun Can - as previously expected
The work Sleeping On The Rock by Kun Can was auctioned at China Guardian in Hong Kong in October 2014. The price achieved of HKD 5,290,000.00 (€ 544,620.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 4,500,000.00 – 6,500,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Sleeping On The Rock is the most expensive artwork by Kun Can that we have observed at auctions so far.

Die Arbeit Sleeping On The Rock von Kun Can kam im Oktober 2014 bei China Guardian in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 5.290.000,00 (€ 544.620,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 4.500.000,00 – 6.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Sleeping On The Rock das teuerste Kunstwerk von Kun Can, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
