Sold at the lower estimate price
In October 2019 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Art, which included the work The Royal Slipper Dipper, Xx by Wangechi Mutu. The result of HKD 150,000.00 (€ 17,144.78) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wangechi Mutu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Little Thought for All Ya'll Who're Thinking of Beating Around the Bush in February 2008 with an auction result of GBP 204,500.00 (€ 267,477.97).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Oktober 2019 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Royal Slipper Dipper, Xx von Wangechi Mutu zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von HKD 150.000,00 (€ 17.144,78) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 150.000,00 – 250.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wangechi Mutu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Little Thought for All Ya'll Who're Thinking of Beating Around the Bush im Februar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 204.500,00 (€ 267.477,97).
