This artwork by Zenzaburo Kojima achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November this year. In the 20th Century Art Day Sale auction, the work Roses sold for HKD 882,000.00 (€ 103,498.35) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zenzaburo Kojima - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Red Background (Nude), which sold at auction in May this year for HKD 2,142,000.00 (€ 256,742.44).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Zenzaburo Kojima erzielte im November diesen Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Roses für HKD 882.000,00 (€ 103.498,35) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Zenzaburo Kojima mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Red Background (Nude) beobachtet, die im Mai diesen Jahres für HKD 2.142.000,00 (€ 256.742,44) versteigert wurde.
