Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Muli Tang achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in September last year. In the Travel & Exploration auction, the work Portrait of a stall keeper at an agricultural fair sold for GBP 2,805.00 (€ 3,192.36) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Muli Tang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work California Coast, which sold at auction in October 2002 for HKD 57,360.00 (€ 7,442.11).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Muli Tang erzielte im September letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Travel & Exploration wurde die Arbeit Portrait of a stall keeper at an agricultural fair für GBP 2.805,00 (€ 3.192,36) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Muli Tang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit California Coast beobachtet, die im Oktober 2002 für HKD 57.360,00 (€ 7.442,11) versteigert wurde.
