A top price for Li Kai - as previously expected
In April 2012 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century Chinese Art, which included the work Morning In The Forbidden City by Li Kai. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 350,000.00 (€ 34,103.11) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Morning In The Forbidden City is the most expensive artwork by Li Kai that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im April 2012 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century Chinese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Morning In The Forbidden City von Li Kai zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 350.000,00 (€ 34.103,11) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Morning In The Forbidden City das teuerste Kunstwerk von Li Kai, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
