The work Contemporary Terracotta Warrior No.5 by Yue Minjun was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Phillips in London in March this year. It achieved a price of GBP 38,100.00 (€ 43,346.11), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 27%. 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 27 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Contemporary Terracotta Warrior No.5 von Yue Minjun wurde im März diesen Jahres in der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale bei Phillips in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 38.100,00 (€ 43.346,11) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 27%. 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).
