This artwork by Song Yonghong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2011. In the The Ullens Collection - The Nascence of Avant Garde China auction, the work Public Bathroom sold for HKD 800,000.00 (€ 69,522.97) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 400,000.00. 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 um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Song Yonghong erzielte im April 2011 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Ullens Collection - The Nascence of Avant Garde China wurde die Arbeit Public Bathroom für HKD 800.000,00 (€ 69.522,97) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 400.000,00. 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.
