Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Untitled (Smile-ism No. 1-28) by Yue Minjun was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in November 2021. The price achieved of HKD 529,200.00 (€ 58,841.68) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. 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).

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yue Minjun erzielen.
