Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Newlyweds by Guan Wei was auctioned at POLY in Hong Kong in October 2014. The price achieved of HKD 236,000.00 (€ 24,296.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Guan Wei - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Playing With String, which sold at auction in April 2011 for HKD 1,100,000.00 (€ 95,594.09).

Für andere Arbeiten von Guan Wei mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Playing With String beobachtet, die im April 2011 für HKD 1.100.000,00 (€ 95.594,09) versteigert wurde.
