Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Artist’s Hand by Ai Weiwei was sold in the Evening & Day Editions auction at Phillips in London in September this year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,556.00 (€ 3,556.00), 19% above the upper estimate. 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Artist’s Hand von Ai Weiwei wurde im September diesen Jahres in der Auktion Evening & Day Editions bei Phillips in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.556,00 (€ 3.556,00) und damit 19% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
