Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Unknown World by Yim Tae Kyu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2008. The price achieved of HKD 162,500.00 (€ 13,378.05) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yim Tae Kyu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Desperado-Unlimited, which sold at auction in November 2007 for HKD 367,500.00 (€ 32,126.23).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Unknown World von Yim Tae Kyu kam im Mai 2008 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 162.500,00 (€ 13.378,05) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Yim Tae Kyu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Desperado-Unlimited beobachtet, die im November 2007 für HKD 367.500,00 (€ 32.126,23) versteigert wurde.
