This artwork by You Jin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in January last year. In the 20th/21st Century Art Online Sale auction, the work The Secret Garden sold for HKD 525,000.00 (€ 60,076.26) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 260,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by You Jin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Path - Backyard Garden, which sold at auction in September 2017 for CNY 1,104,000.00 (€ 140,464.91).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von You Jin erzielte im Januar letzten Jahres bei Christies einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th/21st Century Art Online Sale wurde die Arbeit The Secret Garden für HKD 525.000,00 (€ 60.076,26) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 260.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von You Jin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Path - Backyard Garden beobachtet, die im September 2017 für CNY 1.104.000,00 (€ 140.464,91) versteigert wurde.
