Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.
This artwork by Mao Lizi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2011. In the The Ullens Collection - Experimentation and Evolution auction, the work Vandalized Mural, Dunhuang sold for HKD 200,000.00 (€ 18,469.92) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 100,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mao Lizi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in May 2015 with an auction result of HKD 3,880,000.00 (€ 455,266.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Mao Lizi erzielte im Oktober 2011 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Ullens Collection - Experimentation and Evolution wurde die Arbeit Vandalized Mural, Dunhuang für HKD 200.000,00 (€ 18.469,92) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 100.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mao Lizi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.880.000,00 (€ 455.266,51).
