Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.

In December 2021 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century Art Day Sale, which included the work Sense of Light by Lao Lianben. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 375,000.00 (€ 42,476.59), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lao Lianben - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Meditation 3, which sold at auction in May this year for HKD 882,000.00 (€ 105,717.48).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen

Im Dezember 2021 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sense of Light von Lao Lianben zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 375.000,00 (€ 42.476,59) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Lao Lianben mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Meditation 3 beobachtet, die im Mai diesen Jahres für HKD 882.000,00 (€ 105.717,48) versteigert wurde.
