Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 20.8.84 by Zao Wou-Ki was auctioned at Phillips in Hong Kong in October this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 4,800,000.00 – 6,800,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 5,080,000.00 (€ 614,330.05) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 20.8.84 von Zao Wou-Ki kam im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Phillips in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 4.800.000,00 – 6.800.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 5.080.000,00 (€ 614.330,05) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
