Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Pequi Tree Miniatura by Ai Weiwei was auctioned at Christies in New York in April this year. The price achieved of USD 2,394.00 (€ 2,168.48) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Pequi Tree Miniatura von Ai Weiwei kam im April diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 2.394,00 (€ 2.168,48) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
