This artwork by Yang Mao-Lin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2007. In the Asian Contemporary Art auction, the work Astro Bodhisattva rides on Lion in Boundless Universe of Maha sold for HKD 240,000.00 (€ 22,852.90) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yang Mao-Lin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Behaviour of Game - Fighting Chapter, which sold at auction in May 2010 for HKD 524,000.00 (€ 54,437.71).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Yang Mao-Lin erzielte im Mai 2007 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Astro Bodhisattva rides on Lion in Boundless Universe of Maha für HKD 240.000,00 (€ 22.852,90) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 120.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Yang Mao-Lin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Behaviour of Game - Fighting Chapter beobachtet, die im Mai 2010 für HKD 524.000,00 (€ 54.437,71) versteigert wurde.
