Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Wang Yidong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2017. In the Modern Asian Art auction, the work Faraway Sun sold for HKD 850,000.00 (€ 100,330.43) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 300,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Yidong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Teasing The Newlyweds in April 2013 with an auction result of HKD 19,160,000.00 (€ 1,875,549.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wang Yidong erzielte im April 2017 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern Asian Art wurde die Arbeit Faraway Sun für HKD 850.000,00 (€ 100.330,43) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 300.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Yidong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Teasing The Newlyweds im April 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 19.160.000,00 (€ 1.875.549,82).
