Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2018 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Art, which included the work Espace Rouge by Zenzo Sakamoto. The price achieved of HKD 200,000.00 (€ 22,520.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zenzo Sakamoto - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Kochiku (Construction), which sold at auction in October 2016 for GBP 56,250.00 (€ 62,664.20).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2018 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Espace Rouge von Zenzo Sakamoto zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 200.000,00 (€ 22.520,30) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 150.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Zenzo Sakamoto mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Kochiku (Construction) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2016 für GBP 56.250,00 (€ 62.664,20) versteigert wurde.
