Auction result well in line with expectations

In October 2019 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Art, which included the work Ten - Dot by Yamaguchi Takeo. The price achieved of HKD 337,500.00 (€ 38,575.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 300,000.00 – 400,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yamaguchi Takeo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ho (Crawl) in May last year with an auction result of HKD 12,450,000.00 (€ 1,478,082.19).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Oktober 2019 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ten - Dot von Yamaguchi Takeo zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 337.500,00 (€ 38.575,75) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 300.000,00 – 400.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yamaguchi Takeo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ho (Crawl) im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 12.450.000,00 (€ 1.478.082,19).
