Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Autopoiesis by Lee Bul was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2014. The price achieved of HKD 475,000.00 (€ 48,902.63) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lee Bul - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sternbau No. 25, which sold at auction in November 2011 for USD 164,500.00 (€ 122,277.56).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Autopoiesis von Lee Bul kam im Oktober 2014 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 475.000,00 (€ 48.902,63) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Lee Bul mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sternbau No. 25 beobachtet, die im November 2011 für USD 164.500,00 (€ 122.277,56) versteigert wurde.
