A top price for Li Liufang
When the work Landscapes by Li Liufang 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 160,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 1,150,000.00 (€ 1,070,663.81). This high result makes Landscapes the most expensive artwork by Li Liufang that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Li Liufang
Als die Arbeit Landscapes von Li Liufang 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 160.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 1.150.000,00 (€ 1.070.663,81) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Landscapes zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Li Liufang, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
