Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Brewing Tea by Ding Yunpeng was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 800,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 2,680,000.00 (€ 253,460.41). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ding Yunpeng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sweeping the Elephant, which sold at auction in June 2015 for HKD 6,640,000.00 (€ 767,939.75).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Brewing Tea von Ding Yunpeng im Mai 2014 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 800.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 2.680.000,00 (€ 253.460,41) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Ding Yunpeng mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sweeping the Elephant beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für HKD 6.640.000,00 (€ 767.939,75) versteigert wurde.
