Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2016 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Asian Art, which included the work Autopoiesis by Lee Bul. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 350,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 375,000.00 (€ 44,129.72). 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2016 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Autopoiesis von Lee Bul zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 350.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 375.000,00 (€ 44.129,72) einen neuen Besitzer. 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.
