Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2015 Phillips in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Marilyn vs. Mona Lisa by Alex Guofeng Cao. The price achieved of USD 8,125.00 (€ 7,358.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alex Guofeng Cao - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Warhol Versus Mao, After Mapplethorpe, 2009, which sold at auction in October 2012 for USD 23,750.00 (€ 18,328.45).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2015 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Marilyn vs. Mona Lisa von Alex Guofeng Cao zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 7.358,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Alex Guofeng Cao mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Warhol Versus Mao, After Mapplethorpe, 2009 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2012 für USD 23.750,00 (€ 18.328,45) versteigert wurde.
