A top price for Yunizar
When the work Kisah merah (The red story) by Yunizar was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 907,500.00 (€ 74,711.28). This high result makes Kisah merah (The red story) the most expensive artwork by Yunizar that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Yunizar
Als die Arbeit Kisah merah (The red story) von Yunizar im Mai 2008 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 907.500,00 (€ 74.711,28) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Kisah merah (The red story) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Yunizar, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
