Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Distance In The Fog by Feng Bin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 73,000.00 (€ 46,187.92). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Feng Bin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot 2012 Black and White Tango II sold at auction in October 2014 with the realized price of HKD 483,000.00 (€ 49,726.26).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Distance In The Fog von Feng Bin im März 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 73.000,00 (€ 46.187,92) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Feng Bin; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit 2012 Black and White Tango II im Oktober 2014 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 483.000,00 (€ 49.726,26).
