Sold at the lower estimate price
In April 2018 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Modern Asian Art, which included the work A. Mono-Infinity & Six Tables; B. Small Bench; C. Another Space; D. Self And Self-Shadow; E. Three And Half Pair Of Chopsticks by Wang Huaiqing. The result of HKD 350,000.00 (€ 36,930.59) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 350,000.00 – 550,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Huaiqing achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Traces Of Nature – 4 (Triptych) (Painted In 2004) in April this year with an auction result of HKD 8,925,000.00 (€ 9,114,171.20).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im April 2018 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A. Mono-Infinity & Six Tables; B. Small Bench; C. Another Space; D. Self And Self-Shadow; E. Three And Half Pair Of Chopsticks von Wang Huaiqing zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von HKD 350.000,00 (€ 36.930,59) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 350.000,00 – 550.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Huaiqing erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Traces Of Nature – 4 (Triptych) (Painted In 2004) im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 8.925.000,00 (€ 9.114.171,20).
