A top price for Bian Wenyu
When the work Landscape by Bian Wenyu was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 220,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at HKD 1,500,000.00 (€ 165,092.72). This high result makes Landscape the most expensive artwork by Bian Wenyu that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Bian Wenyu
Als die Arbeit Landscape von Bian Wenyu im Oktober 2017 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 220.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 1.500.000,00 (€ 165.092,72) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Landscape zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Bian Wenyu, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
