Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
The work Art Edition, Taschen by Ai Weiwei was auctioned at Christies in London in March this year. It achieved a price of GBP 6,930.00 (€ 7,884.21), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 39%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ai Weiwei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Circle of Animals / Zodiac Heads in June 2015 with an auction result of GBP 3,442,500.00 (€ 4,853,881.79).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Art Edition, Taschen von Ai Weiwei kam im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 6.930,00 (€ 7.884,21) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 39%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ai Weiwei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Circle of Animals / Zodiac Heads im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.442.500,00 (€ 4.853.881,79).
