Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
In December 2021 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction 21st Century Art Day Sale, which included the work 99 Idol Series No. 10, 68, 82; & 88 by Yue Minjun. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 1,000,000.00 (€ 113,270.90), 67% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yue Minjun achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Execution in October 2007 with an auction result of GBP 2,932,500.00 (€ 4,211,262.96).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2021 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion 21st Century Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit 99 Idol Series No. 10, 68, 82; & 88 von Yue Minjun zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 1.000.000,00 (€ 113.270,90) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yue Minjun erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Execution im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.932.500,00 (€ 4.211.262,96).
