Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Without Interest, Nothing To Say, Not Interesting, Not Fun (Four Works) by Guan Wei was sold in the The Ullens Collection - Experimentation and Evolution auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2011. The price achieved of HKD 175,000.00 (€ 16,161.18) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. Admittedly, works by Guan Wei have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Playing With String in April 2011 with an auction result of HKD 1,100,000.00 (€ 95,594.09).
