Auction result well in line with expectations
In June last year Bonhams in Sidney held the auction Sherman | Prints & Multiples, which included the work Under the Southern Cross, 1999 by Guan Wei. The price achieved of AUD 615.00 (€ 587.45) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 500.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Guan Wei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Playing With String in April 2011 with an auction result of HKD 1,100,000.00 (€ 95,594.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in Sidney die Auktion Sherman | Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Under the Southern Cross, 1999 von Guan Wei zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 615,00 (€ 587,45) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 500,00 – 800,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Guan Wei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Playing With String im April 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.100.000,00 (€ 95.594,09).
