Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Art Shopping Network by Cai Guo-Qiang was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 2,500,000.00 – 4,500,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 2,898,000.00 (€ 350,389.29) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Cai Guo-Qiang have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Art Shopping Network von Cai Guo-Qiang kam im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 2.500.000,00 – 4.500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 2.898.000,00 (€ 350.389,29) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Cai Guo-Qiang auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Project For Extraterrestrials No.10, Project To Extend The Great Wall Of China im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 20.487.500,00 (€ 1.826.712,40).
