A top price for Li Yanshan
When the work Poolside Studio by Li Yanshan was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 700,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at HKD 4,615,000.00 (€ 525,321.40). This high result makes Poolside Studio the most expensive artwork by Li Yanshan that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Li Yanshan
Als die Arbeit Poolside Studio von Li Yanshan im April 2019 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 700.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 4.615.000,00 (€ 525.321,40) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Poolside Studio zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Li Yanshan, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
