Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Liu Hongwei could be acquired at Bonhams in London in August this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Cherry Picked Modern & Contemporary Art Online auction, the work The Children Playground changed hands for HKD 28,800.00 (€ 3,387.77) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 60,000.00 – 100,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Liu Hongwei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Piggy Toy in May 2011 with an auction result of HKD 860,000.00 (€ 76,931.00).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Liu Hongwei konnte im August diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Cherry Picked Modern & Contemporary Art Online wechselte die Arbeit The Children Playground für HKD 28.800,00 (€ 3.387,77) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 60.000,00 – 100.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Liu Hongwei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Piggy Toy im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 860.000,00 (€ 76.931,00).
