Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Yue Minjun achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in Hong Kong in October this year. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work Contemporary Terracotta Warrior No.5 sold for HKD 635,000.00 (€ 76,791.26) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 300,000.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Yue Minjun erzielte im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Phillips in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Contemporary Terracotta Warrior No.5 für HKD 635.000,00 (€ 76.791,26) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 300.000,00. 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).
