Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2018 Christies in New York held the auction Fine Chinese Paintings, which included the work Abstract No. 20151009 by Li Gang. The price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 10,755.46) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Li Gang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Elements of Ink No. 20140320, which sold at auction in May 2017 for HKD 250,000.00 (€ 28,546.64).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Abstract No. 20151009 von Li Gang zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 10.755,46) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Li Gang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Elements of Ink No. 20140320 beobachtet, die im Mai 2017 für HKD 250.000,00 (€ 28.546,64) versteigert wurde.
