Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Asian Contemporary Art Online: featuring the Chaney Family Collection, which included the work RMB City: A Second Life City Planning No.10 by Cao Fei. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,303.58) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cao Fei - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Silent Curse, Nada At Home, Diversionist And City Watcher (Four Works), which sold at auction in October 2009 for HKD 187,500.00 (€ 16,392.75).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Asian Contemporary Art Online: featuring the Chaney Family Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit RMB City: A Second Life City Planning No.10 von Cao Fei zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 7.500,00 (€ 6.303,58) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Cao Fei mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Silent Curse, Nada At Home, Diversionist And City Watcher (Four Works) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2009 für HKD 187.500,00 (€ 16.392,75) versteigert wurde.
