Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 2.6.61 by Zao Wou-Ki was sold in the 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May this year. The price achieved of HKD 19,735,000.00 (€ 2,365,458.51) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 16,000,000.00 – 22,000,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zao Wou-Ki achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 29.09.64. in May last year with an auction result of HKD 278,000,000.00 (€ 33,004,566.21).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 2.6.61 von Zao Wou-Ki wurde im Mai diesen Jahres in der Auktion 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 19.735.000,00 (€ 2.365.458,51) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 16.000.000,00 – 22.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zao Wou-Ki erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 29.09.64. im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 278.000.000,00 (€ 33.004.566,21).
