Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Three Youths In Siamo, 1981 by Liu Heung Shing was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,200.00 (€ 1,780.74). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Liu Heung Shing - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Youths In Siamo,  A Hair Salon In Beijing, Workers Removing The Portrait Of Mao, Students In Tiananmen Square (Four Works), which sold at auction in March 2007 for USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,486.32).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Three Youths In Siamo, 1981 von Liu Heung Shing im Juni 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.200,00 (€ 1.780,74) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Liu Heung Shing mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Youths In Siamo,  A Hair Salon In Beijing, Workers Removing The Portrait Of Mao, Students In Tiananmen Square (Four Works) beobachtet, die im März 2007 für USD 6.000,00 (€ 4.486,32) versteigert wurde.
