Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Landscapes by Jiang Shijie was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 50,000.00 (€ 46,550.60). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jiang Shijie - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Landscape, which sold at auction in March 2016 for USD 118,750.00 (€ 104,258.12).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Landscapes von Jiang Shijie im März 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 50.000,00 (€ 46.550,60) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jiang Shijie mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Landscape beobachtet, die im März 2016 für USD 118.750,00 (€ 104.258,12) versteigert wurde.
