A top price for Shi Wei - as previously expected
The work Sisters No. 6 by Shi Wei was sold in the No Regrets: 20/21 Art Online: All Originals auction at Christies in Hong Kong in April last year. The price achieved of HKD 37,800.00 (€ 4,570.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Sisters No. 6 is the most expensive artwork by Shi Wei that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Sisters No. 6 von Shi Wei wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion No Regrets: 20/21 Art Online: All Originals bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 37.800,00 (€ 4.570,30) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Sisters No. 6 das teuerste Kunstwerk von Shi Wei, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
