Auction result well in line with expectations

The work PUSS PUSSY by Sun Yee was sold in the Asian 20th Century Art (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 70,000.00 – 90,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 75,000.00 (€ 8,563.99) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Sun Yee have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Medley Of Dances in November 2015 with an auction result of HKD 475,000.00 (€ 58,014.58).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit PUSS PUSSY von Sun Yee wurde im Mai 2017 in der Auktion Asian 20th Century Art (Day Sale) bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 70.000,00 – 90.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 75.000,00 (€ 8.563,99) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sun Yee auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Medley Of Dances im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 475.000,00 (€ 58.014,58).
