Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Print Era by Lui Liu was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2014, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 2,000,000.00 – 3,000,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 1,840,000.00 (€ 189,433.36). 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Print Era von Lui Liu im Oktober 2014 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 2.000.000,00 – 3.000.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 1.840.000,00 (€ 189.433,36) den Besitzer. 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.
