Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work I Dreamed Of Being Killed By My Father When Flying In Lang Yuan by Hong Lei was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 40,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 162,500.00 (€ 15,113.55). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hong Lei; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Speak, Memory sold at auction in May 2008 with the realized price of GBP 18,500.00 (€ 23,532.81).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit I Dreamed Of Being Killed By My Father When Flying In Lang Yuan von Hong Lei im April 2014 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 40.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 162.500,00 (€ 15.113,55) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Hong Lei; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Speak, Memory im Mai 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 18.500,00 (€ 23.532,81).
