Auction result well in line with expectations

In April last year Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Evening Auction, which included the work Night by Liu Ye. It changed hands for a price of HKD 23,970,000.00 (€ 2,898,147.48) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 15,000,000.00 – 25,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Liu Ye - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Smoke, which sold at auction in October 2019 for HKD 52,182,000.00 (€ 5,964,325.41).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im April letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Evening Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Night von Liu Ye zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von HKD 23.970.000,00 (€ 2.898.147,48) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 15.000.000,00 – 25.000.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Liu Ye mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Smoke beobachtet, die im Oktober 2019 für HKD 52.182.000,00 (€ 5.964.325,41) versteigert wurde.
