Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2012 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century Chinese Art, which included the work Williams Pear by Ming Fay. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 45,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 50,000.00 (€ 4,871.87) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ming Fay - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cherries, which sold at auction in April 2014 for HKD 187,500.00 (€ 17,438.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2012 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century Chinese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Williams Pear von Ming Fay zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 45.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 50.000,00 (€ 4.871,87) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Ming Fay mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cherries beobachtet, die im April 2014 für HKD 187.500,00 (€ 17.438,72) versteigert wurde.
