Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2014 Christies in Shanghai held the auction Asian and Western 20th Century & Contemporary Art, which included the work Fishing in the Morning 2 by Choi Yeong-Geol. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of CNY 100,000.00 – 200,000.00, the actual price achieved of CNY 125,000.00 (€ 16,320.83) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Choi Yeong-Geol - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Finding Spring, which sold at auction in November 2015 for HKD 437,500.00 (€ 53,434.48).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2014 führte Christies in Shanghai die Auktion Asian and Western 20th Century & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fishing in the Morning 2 von Choi Yeong-Geol zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von CNY 100.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von CNY 125.000,00 (€ 16.320,83) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Choi Yeong-Geol mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Finding Spring beobachtet, die im November 2015 für HKD 437.500,00 (€ 53.434,48) versteigert wurde.
