Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Fine Chinese Paintings, which included the work Visiting a Friend by Ren Yu. The price achieved of USD 8,125.00 (€ 6,878.02) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 6,000.00 – 10,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ren Yu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flowers in November 2013 with an auction result of HKD 2,800,000.00 (€ 265,471.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Visiting a Friend von Ren Yu zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 6.878,02) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 6.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ren Yu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flowers im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.800.000,00 (€ 265.471,12).
