Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2018 a collector was able to acquire the work Boys in the bathhouse no. 5 by Liu Xiaodong for HKD 437,500.00 (€ 49,379.58). This price was achieved in the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale at Phillips in Hong Kong and was even below the estimate range of HKD 500,000.00 – 700,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Liu Xiaodong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Disobeying The Rules in October 2014 with an auction result of HKD 66,200,000.00 (€ 6,815,482.84).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2018 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Boys in the bathhouse no. 5 von Liu Xiaodong für HKD 437.500,00 (€ 49.379,58) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale bei Phillips in Hong Kong erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 500.000,00 – 700.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Liu Xiaodong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Disobeying The Rules im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 66.200.000,00 (€ 6.815.482,84).
