Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2007 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Asia, which included the work Plan Of The Ants - Red No. 6 by Ma Han. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 27,000.00 (€ 20,188.43) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ma Han - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Plan Of The Ants - Red, which sold at auction in October 2008 for HKD 487,500.00 (€ 49,588.00).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2007 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Asia durch, in der auch die Arbeit Plan Of The Ants - Red No. 6 von Ma Han zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 27.000,00 (€ 20.188,43) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Ma Han mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Plan Of The Ants - Red beobachtet, die im Oktober 2008 für HKD 487.500,00 (€ 49.588,00) versteigert wurde.
