Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2008 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Chinese Art, which included the work Chinese Baby No.1 by Yin Kun. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 180,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 187,500.00 (€ 19,072.31). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yin Kun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hero Series No. 1, which sold at auction in October 2007 for HKD 631,500.00 (€ 56,305.99).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2008 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Chinese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Chinese Baby No.1 von Yin Kun zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 180.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 187.500,00 (€ 19.072,31) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Yin Kun mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Hero Series No. 1 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für HKD 631.500,00 (€ 56.305,99) versteigert wurde.
