Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.
In October 2013 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Asian Art, which included the work Ethereal Beauty And Auspicious Snow (Two Works) by Wang Qingsong. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 68,750.00 (€ 6,524.02), 72% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Qingsong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Follow Me in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 433,250.00 (€ 550,449.00).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 72 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2013 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ethereal Beauty And Auspicious Snow (Two Works) von Wang Qingsong zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 68.750,00 (€ 6.524,02) und damit 72% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Qingsong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Follow Me im Juli 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 433.250,00 (€ 550.449,00).
