A top price for He Wei - as previously expected
The work Bisulfite by He Wei was auctioned at Phillips in Hong Kong in March this year. It changed hands for a price of HKD 76,200.00 (€ 8,922.24) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Bisulfite is the most expensive artwork by He Wei that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Bisulfite von He Wei kam im März diesen Jahres bei Phillips in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von HKD 76.200,00 (€ 8.922,24) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Bisulfite das teuerste Kunstwerk von He Wei, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
