Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Flowers for New Year’s Day by Wang Li was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in December last year. The price achieved of HKD 37,800.00 (€ 4,529.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Li - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cranes By The Pine, which sold at auction in October 2018 for HKD 150,000.00 (€ 16,890.22).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Flowers for New Year’s Day von Wang Li kam im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 37.800,00 (€ 4.529,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Li mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cranes By The Pine beobachtet, die im Oktober 2018 für HKD 150.000,00 (€ 16.890,22) versteigert wurde.
