A top price for Shozo Shimamoto
In April 2017 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Brushwork II – All The World’s a Stage, which included the work Explosion 64-1 by Shozo Shimamoto. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 20,500,000.00 (€ 2,419,733.82), 37% above the upper estimate. With this result, Explosion 64-1 is even the most expensive work of art by Shozo Shimamoto that we have observed at auctions so far.
