A top price for Satoshi Kanai - as previously expected
The work Two in the Bathroom (CON VOI) by Satoshi Kanai was sold in the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2010. The price achieved of HKD 137,500.00 (€ 14,284.70) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 110,000.00 – 170,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Two in the Bathroom (CON VOI) is the most expensive artwork by Satoshi Kanai that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Two in the Bathroom (CON VOI) von Satoshi Kanai wurde im Mai 2010 in der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 137.500,00 (€ 14.284,70) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 110.000,00 – 170.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Two in the Bathroom (CON VOI) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Satoshi Kanai, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
