In May 2018 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online, which included the work Farm Life by Nie Ou. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 125,000.00 (€ 13,656.81), 39% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nie Ou - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Raising Animals, which sold at auction in December 2015 for CNY 295,000.00 (€ 41,944.93).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2018 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Farm Life von Nie Ou zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 125.000,00 (€ 13.656,81) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Nie Ou mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Raising Animals beobachtet, die im Dezember 2015 für CNY 295.000,00 (€ 41.944,93) versteigert wurde.
