Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Lady After Bath by Liang Yifeng was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2005, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 100,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 384,000.00 (€ 39,988.99). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Liang Yifeng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lady in White, which sold at auction in November 2005 for HKD 900,000.00 (€ 98,473.28).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Lady After Bath von Liang Yifeng im Mai 2005 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 100.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 384.000,00 (€ 39.988,99) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Liang Yifeng mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Lady in White beobachtet, die im November 2005 für HKD 900.000,00 (€ 98.473,28) versteigert wurde.
