Upper estimate price exceeded by 69 %.
The work Artist's Hand by Ai Weiwei was auctioned at Phillips in London in January 2024. It achieved a price of GBP 5,080.00 (€ 8,502.18), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 69%. 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 69 % übertroffen

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 5.080,00 (€ 8.502,18) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 69%. 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).
