Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2012 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century Chinese Art, which included the work Urchin Boys by Lee Ming-Tiao. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 30,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 31,250.00 (€ 3,111.01) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Lee Ming-Tiao have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Shepherd Boys in April 2012 with an auction result of HKD 150,000.00 (€ 14,615.62).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2012 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century Chinese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Urchin Boys von Lee Ming-Tiao zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 30.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 31.250,00 (€ 3.111,01) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lee Ming-Tiao auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Shepherd Boys im April 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 150.000,00 (€ 14.615,62).
