Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Satoshi Watanabe achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2008. In the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction, the work Taj Mahal sold for HKD 81,250.00 (€ 6,689.03) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 36,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Satoshi Watanabe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Museum Series - Le Museé du Louvre in November 2007 with an auction result of HKD 1,447,500.00 (€ 126,537.99).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Satoshi Watanabe erzielte im Mai 2008 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) wurde die Arbeit Taj Mahal für HKD 81.250,00 (€ 6.689,03) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 36.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Satoshi Watanabe erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Museum Series - Le Museé du Louvre im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.447.500,00 (€ 126.537,99).
