Upper estimate price exceeded by 71 %.
The work Pequi Tree Miniature by Ai Weiwei was auctioned at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in September this year. It achieved a price of GBP 2,560.00 (€ 2,560.00), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 71%. 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).

Die Arbeit Pequi Tree Miniature von Ai Weiwei kam im September diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 2.560,00 (€ 2.560,00) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 71%. 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).
