Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2014 Christies in New York held the auction BARRY FRIEDMAN: THE ECLECTIC EYE Evening Sale and Day Sale, which included the work Fighting The Flood - Red Flag Canal by Wang Jin. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 32,500.00 (€ 23,590.04) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Wang Jin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Dream Of China in April 2007 with an auction result of HKD 1,920,000.00 (€ 179,771.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2014 führte Christies in New York die Auktion BARRY FRIEDMAN: THE ECLECTIC EYE Evening Sale and Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fighting The Flood - Red Flag Canal von Wang Jin zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 32.500,00 (€ 23.590,04) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Wang Jin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Dream Of China im April 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.920.000,00 (€ 179.771,60).
