Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2007 Phillips in London held the auction Contemporary Art Evening Sale, which included the work How High the Moon by Shirō Kuramata. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 57,600.00 (€ 82,717.39), 15% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Shirō Kuramata - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Miss Blanche' chair, which sold at auction in May 2017 for HKD 2,240,000.00 (€ 255,777.86).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2007 führte Phillips in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit How High the Moon von Shirō Kuramata zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 57.600,00 (€ 82.717,39) und damit 15% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Shirō Kuramata mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'Miss Blanche' chair beobachtet, die im Mai 2017 für HKD 2.240.000,00 (€ 255.777,86) versteigert wurde.
