Auction result well in line with expectations
In November last year Bonhams in New York held the auction Modern & Contemporary Prints & Multiples, which included the work One Cent Life; Chinese Moonlight book (2 works) by Walasse Ting. The price achieved of USD 765.00 (€ 741.06) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 600.00 – 900.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walasse Ting achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work I Love Summer Long in May 2018 with an auction result of HKD 6,820,000.00 (€ 745,115.68).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit One Cent Life; Chinese Moonlight book (2 works) von Walasse Ting zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 765,00 (€ 741,06) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 600,00 – 900,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walasse Ting erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit I Love Summer Long im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 6.820.000,00 (€ 745.115,68).
