Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Three Muses by Lui Liu was sold in the Asian and Western 20th Century & Contemporary Art auction at Christies in Shanghai in October 2014. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of CNY 1,200,000.00 – 1,800,000.00, the actual price achieved of CNY 1,230,000.00 (€ 160,596.97) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lui Liu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Public Vs. Republic, which sold at auction in April 2014 for HKD 4,840,000.00 (€ 450,151.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Three Muses von Lui Liu wurde im Oktober 2014 in der Auktion Asian and Western 20th Century & Contemporary Art bei Christies in Shanghai versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von CNY 1.200.000,00 – 1.800.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von CNY 1.230.000,00 (€ 160.596,97) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Lui Liu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Public Vs. Republic beobachtet, die im April 2014 für HKD 4.840.000,00 (€ 450.151,41) versteigert wurde.
