Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2016 China Guardian in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century and Contemporary Chinese Art, which included the work Traces Of You And I Ⅱ by Wei Jia. The price achieved of HKD 826,000.00 (€ 95,470.32) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 700,000.00 – 900,000.00. Admittedly, works by Wei Jia have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Nowhere to Escape IV in April this year with an auction result of HKD 720,000.00 (€ 735,260.87).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 826.000,00 (€ 95.470,32) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 700.000,00 – 900.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Wei Jia auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Nowhere to Escape IV im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 720.000,00 (€ 735.260,87).
