Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Grandson by Liu Xiaodong was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Afternoon Session) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2019. The price achieved of HKD 750,000.00 (€ 85,837.29) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 600,000.00 – 900,000.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Grandson von Liu Xiaodong wurde im Mai 2019 in der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Afternoon Session) bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 750.000,00 (€ 85.837,29) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 600.000,00 – 900.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
