Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Li Kai could be acquired at Christies in Hong Kong in October 2002 for an unexpectedly low price. In the THE CURRIER COLLECTION OF CHINESE CONTEMPORARY ART auction, the work Door with Grass changed hands for HKD 20,315.00 (€ 2,635.75) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 25,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Li Kai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Morning In The Forbidden City in April 2012 with an auction result of HKD 350,000.00 (€ 34,103.11).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Li Kai konnte im Oktober 2002 bei Christies in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion THE CURRIER COLLECTION OF CHINESE CONTEMPORARY ART wechselte die Arbeit Door with Grass für HKD 20.315,00 (€ 2.635,75) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 25.000,00 – 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Li Kai erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Morning In The Forbidden City im April 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 350.000,00 (€ 34.103,11).
