Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Li Mei-Shu could be acquired at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2005 for an unexpectedly low price. In the THE INCEPTION OF A NEW ERA - THE YAGEO FOUNDATION COLLECTION auction, the work The Girls Washing Cloth by the Riverside changed hands for HKD 120,000.00 (€ 12,496.56) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 320,000.00 – 460,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Li Mei-Shu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Clear Day in October 2004 with an auction result of HKD 2,527,750.00 (€ 254,639.18).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Li Mei-Shu konnte im Mai 2005 bei Christies in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion THE INCEPTION OF A NEW ERA - THE YAGEO FOUNDATION COLLECTION wechselte die Arbeit The Girls Washing Cloth by the Riverside für HKD 120.000,00 (€ 12.496,56) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 320.000,00 – 460.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Li Mei-Shu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Clear Day im Oktober 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.527.750,00 (€ 254.639,18).
