A top price for MADSAKI
This artwork by MADSAKI achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. In the 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale auction, the work Birth of Venus II sold for HKD 4,788,000.00 (€ 568,438.36) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 2,000,000.00. This high result makes Birth of Venus II the most expensive artwork by MADSAKI that we have observed at auctions so far.

In der Auktion 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit Birth of Venus II für HKD 4.788.000,00 (€ 568.438,36) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 2.000.000,00. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Birth of Venus II zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von MADSAKI, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
