Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of a Boy by Shiy De-Jinn was sold in the 20th Century Art Day Sale auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. The price achieved of HKD 1,827,000.00 (€ 216,904.11) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 1,500,000.00 – 2,500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Shiy De-Jinn - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Young Girl, which sold at auction in October 2016 for HKD 5,480,000.00 (€ 644,882.32).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of a Boy von Shiy De-Jinn wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion 20th Century Art Day Sale bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 1.827.000,00 (€ 216.904,11) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 1.500.000,00 – 2.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Shiy De-Jinn mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Young Girl beobachtet, die im Oktober 2016 für HKD 5.480.000,00 (€ 644.882,32) versteigert wurde.
