A top price for Mr. - as previously expected
In April this year China Guardian in Hong Kong held the auction Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art, which included the work Exercising My Telekinetic Powers (Painted In 2012) by Mr.. The price achieved of HKD 4,560,000.00 (€ 4,656,652.17) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 3,700,000.00 – 5,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Exercising My Telekinetic Powers (Painted In 2012) is the most expensive artwork by Mr. that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im April diesen Jahres führte China Guardian in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Exercising My Telekinetic Powers (Painted In 2012) von Mr. zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 4.560.000,00 (€ 4.656.652,17) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 3.700.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Exercising My Telekinetic Powers (Painted In 2012) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Mr., das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
