Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price

When the work Memory Code by Tomoya Tsukamoto was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 65,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at HKD 437,500.00 (€ 41,376.47). Admittedly, works by Tomoya Tsukamoto have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Memory of the Forest - Tiger in May 2016 with an auction result of HKD 1,840,000.00 (€ 212,669.96).

Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Memory Code von Tomoya Tsukamoto im Mai 2014 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 65.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 437.500,00 (€ 41.376,47) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Tomoya Tsukamoto auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Memory of the Forest - Tiger im Mai 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.840.000,00 (€ 212.669,96).
