Despite a disappointment, a good price for Lin Yilin
When the work Missing Dolly by Lin Yilin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 46,875.00 (€ 33,289.54). Despite this disappointing result, Missing Dolly is the most expensive artwork by Lin Yilin that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Lin Yilin
Als die Arbeit Missing Dolly von Lin Yilin im September 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 46.875,00 (€ 33.289,54) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Missing Dolly das teuerste Kunstwerk von Lin Yilin, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
