Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Human Being 13 by Waichi Tsutaka was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 43,750.00 (€ 4,926.31). Admittedly, works by Waichi Tsutaka have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in October 2017 with an auction result of HKD 375,000.00 (€ 41,273.18).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Human Being 13 von Waichi Tsutaka im Oktober 2018 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 43.750,00 (€ 4.926,31) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Waichi Tsutaka auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 375.000,00 (€ 41.273,18).
