Description
Ink and color on paper
68×68 cm 26 3/4×26 3/4 in
Signed and dated in Chinese， and stamped with artist seal’s on bottom right
Private collection， Asia“Most works of Ai Xuan concern minority inhabitants in Tibet， including that ox-eyed little girl who has featured in a number of his paintings. Matter-of-factly， each has its own motif and sentiment， reflective of the artist’s thinking and aspirations there and then. His depictions of the wilderness on the Tibetan Plateau and lone souls residing there are little else other than a revelation of his innermost emotions. Thus it stands to reason to deem his works as an incarnation of his interior monologue rather than a rendition of Tibetan custom and landscape. Structurally， his works strive for poetic profundity， due to his learning of the Chinese lands

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Hope Of Winter(Painted In 2013) by Ai Xuan was sold in the Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art auction at China Guardian in Hong Kong in October 2017. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 531,000.00 (€ 58,442.82), 18% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ai Xuan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Longing in April 2013 with an auction result of HKD 12,040,000.00 (€ 1,178,581.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Hope Of Winter(Painted In 2013) von Ai Xuan wurde im Oktober 2017 in der Auktion Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art bei China Guardian in Hong Kong versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 531.000,00 (€ 58.442,82) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ai Xuan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Longing im April 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 12.040.000,00 (€ 1.178.581,41).
