Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Nude by Long Liyou was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 28,600.00 (€ 18,095.54). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Long Liyou achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work August 18Th, 1966 in April 2013 with an auction result of HKD 9,200,000.00 (€ 900,577.16).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Nude von Long Liyou im März 2008 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 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 28.600,00 (€ 18.095,54) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Long Liyou erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit August 18Th, 1966 im April 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 9.200.000,00 (€ 900.577,16).
