Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Foreplay by Cai Guo-Qiang was sold in the Evening & Day Editions auction at Phillips in London in January 2021. The price achieved of GBP 1,638.00 (€ 1,852.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cai Guo-Qiang achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Project For Extraterrestrials No.10, Project To Extend The Great Wall Of China in October 2007 with an auction result of HKD 20,487,500.00 (€ 1,826,712.40).

Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.638,00 (€ 1.852,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cai Guo-Qiang erzielen.
