Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Night Mountains by Liu Yanshui was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 120,000.00 – 150,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 118,750.00 (€ 11,624.30). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Liu Yanshui - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Landscape, which sold at auction in May 2012 for HKD 225,000.00 (€ 23,439.02).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Night Mountains von Liu Yanshui im April 2013 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 120.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 118.750,00 (€ 11.624,30) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Liu Yanshui mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Landscape beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für HKD 225.000,00 (€ 23.439,02) versteigert wurde.
