Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Ai Weiwei achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in October last year. In the Editions & Works on Paper auction, the work Artist's Hand sold for USD 8,820.00 (€ 8,878.60) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,500.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ai Weiwei erzielte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper wurde die Arbeit Artist's Hand für USD 8.820,00 (€ 8.878,60) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.500,00. 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).
