Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Satoshi Watanabe achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2007. In the Asian Contemporary Art auction, the work Museum Series-Tate Modern sold for HKD 607,500.00 (€ 53,106.62) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Satoshi Watanabe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Museum Series - Le Museé du Louvre, which sold at auction in November 2007 for HKD 1,447,500.00 (€ 126,537.99).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Satoshi Watanabe erzielte im November 2007 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Museum Series-Tate Modern für HKD 607.500,00 (€ 53.106,62) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Satoshi Watanabe mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Museum Series - Le Museé du Louvre beobachtet, die im November 2007 für HKD 1.447.500,00 (€ 126.537,99) versteigert wurde.
