Upper estimate price exceeded by 37 %.
In June last year Phillips in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale, which included the work Contemporary Terracotta Warrior No. 8 by Yue Minjun. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 756,000.00 (€ 91,999.62), 37% 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 37 % übertroffen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Phillips in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Contemporary Terracotta Warrior No. 8 von Yue Minjun zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 756.000,00 (€ 91.999,62) und damit 37% 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).
