Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Sharp, Sharp, Smart No. 2 by Duan Jianyu was auctioned at POLY in Hong Kong in July last year. The auction ended at the price of HKD 1,800,000.00 (€ 224,603.02), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of HKD 1,200,000.00 – 1,800,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Duan Jianyu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sister No.14 (Diptych), which sold at auction in April 2019 for HKD 4,000,000.00 (€ 455,316.49).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Sharp, Sharp, Smart No. 2 von Duan Jianyu kam im Juli letzten Jahres bei POLY in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von HKD 1.800.000,00 (€ 224.603,02) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 1.200.000,00 – 1.800.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Duan Jianyu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sister No.14 (Diptych) beobachtet, die im April 2019 für HKD 4.000.000,00 (€ 455.316,49) versteigert wurde.
