A top price for Scott Kahn

When the work BIG HOUSE, HOMAGE TO AMERICA by Scott Kahn was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 2,000,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 11,250,000.00 (€ 1,335,616.44). This high result makes BIG HOUSE, HOMAGE TO AMERICA the most expensive artwork by Scott Kahn that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Scott Kahn

Als die Arbeit BIG HOUSE, HOMAGE TO AMERICA von Scott Kahn im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 2.000.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 11.250.000,00 (€ 1.335.616,44) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht BIG HOUSE, HOMAGE TO AMERICA zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Scott Kahn, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
