A top price for Mao Wen Biao - as previously expected

The work Storming clear by Mao Wen Biao was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 11,250.00 (€ 8,082.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Storming clear is the most expensive artwork by Mao Wen Biao that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Storming clear von Mao Wen Biao kam im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 11.250,00 (€ 8.082,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Storming clear das teuerste Kunstwerk von Mao Wen Biao, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
