Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Bodhidharma by Wang Naizhuang was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2020. The price achieved of USD 1,875.00 (€ 1,533.12) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,500.00 – 2,300.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Naizhuang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Water Village, which sold at auction in September 2019 for USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,438.79).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Bodhidharma von Wang Naizhuang kam im Dezember 2020 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.875,00 (€ 1.533,12) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.500,00 – 2.300,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Naizhuang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Water Village beobachtet, die im September 2019 für USD 3.750,00 (€ 3.438,79) versteigert wurde.
