Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Benevolent Mind And Heart by Hsia Yan was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 400,000.00 (€ 41,181.17). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hsia Yan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pedestrian At Soho No.5, which sold at auction in April 2017 for HKD 850,000.00 (€ 100,330.43).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Benevolent Mind And Heart von Hsia Yan im Oktober 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 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 400.000,00 (€ 41.181,17) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Hsia Yan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pedestrian At Soho No.5 beobachtet, die im April 2017 für HKD 850.000,00 (€ 100.330,43) versteigert wurde.
