Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April 2016 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Asian Art, which included the work Moat Around The Forbidden City by Song Yonghong. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 562,500.00 (€ 63,374.05). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Song Yonghong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Production Line, which sold at auction in April 2011 for HKD 2,180,000.00 (€ 189,450.10).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April 2016 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Moat Around The Forbidden City von Song Yonghong zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 500.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 562.500,00 (€ 63.374,05) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Song Yonghong mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Production Line beobachtet, die im April 2011 für HKD 2.180.000,00 (€ 189.450,10) versteigert wurde.
