Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Brewing Tea under Pines by Gao Jian was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2008.

Die Arbeit Brewing Tea under Pines von Gao Jian kam im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 93.750,00 (€ 8.688,66) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 80.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Gao Jian auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Landscape im Oktober 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 552.000,00 (€ 52.381,93).
