Despite a disappointment, a good price for Liu Heung Shing

When the work The Youths In Siamo,  A Hair Salon In Beijing, Workers Removing The Portrait Of Mao, Students In Tiananmen Square (Four Works) by Liu Heung Shing was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,486.32). Despite this disappointing result, The Youths In Siamo,  A Hair Salon In Beijing, Workers Removing The Portrait Of Mao, Students In Tiananmen Square (Four Works) is the most expensive artwork by Liu Heung Shing that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Liu Heung Shing

Als die Arbeit The Youths In Siamo,  A Hair Salon In Beijing, Workers Removing The Portrait Of Mao, Students In Tiananmen Square (Four Works) von Liu Heung Shing im März 2007 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 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 6.000,00 (€ 4.486,32) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The Youths In Siamo,  A Hair Salon In Beijing, Workers Removing The Portrait Of Mao, Students In Tiananmen Square (Four Works) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Liu Heung Shing, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
