Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2017 China Guardian in Hong Kong held the auction The Schoeni Family Collection, which included the work Behind The Mask Series(Nine Pieces)(Photographed In 2001-2002;Executed In 2008) by Mai Jinyao. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 10,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 11,800.00 (€ 1,298.73) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Mai Jinyao have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work My First Camera in October 2015 with an auction result of HKD 68,750.00 (€ 8,031.83).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2017 führte China Guardian in Hong Kong die Auktion The Schoeni Family Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Behind The Mask Series(Nine Pieces)(Photographed In 2001-2002;Executed In 2008) von Mai Jinyao zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 10.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 11.800,00 (€ 1.298,73) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mai Jinyao auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit My First Camera im Oktober 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 68.750,00 (€ 8.031,83).
