A top price for Liu Weijian - as previously expected

The work Engine No. 5 by Liu Weijian was sold in the Contemporary Asian Art auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2015. The result of HKD 250,000.00 (€ 29,206.67) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Engine No. 5 is the most expensive artwork by Liu Weijian that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Engine No. 5 von Liu Weijian wurde im Oktober 2015 in der Auktion Contemporary Asian Art bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von HKD 250.000,00 (€ 29.206,67) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Engine No. 5 das teuerste Kunstwerk von Liu Weijian, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
