Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Poison Drinker by Song Kun was sold in the Contemporary Asian Art auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2016. The auction ended at the price of HKD 100,000.00 (€ 11,266.50), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of HKD 80,000.00 – 100,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Song Kun achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Garden of Auspicious Animals in December 2021 with an auction result of HKD 2,375,000.00 (€ 269,018.38).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Poison Drinker von Song Kun wurde im April 2016 in der Auktion Contemporary Asian Art bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von HKD 100.000,00 (€ 11.266,50) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 80.000,00 – 100.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Song Kun erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Garden of Auspicious Animals im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.375.000,00 (€ 269.018,38).
