Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Someday My Prince Will Come by Li Songsong was auctioned at Sothebys in London in February 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 250,000.00 – 350,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 173,000.00 (€ 238,541.31). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Li Songsong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work National Geographic, which sold at auction in April 2013 for HKD 5,750,000.00 (€ 562,860.72).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Someday My Prince Will Come von Li Songsong im Februar 2015 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 173.000,00 (€ 238.541,31) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Li Songsong mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit National Geographic beobachtet, die im April 2013 für HKD 5.750.000,00 (€ 562.860,72) versteigert wurde.
