A top price for Wang Pan-Youn
When the work Lonely Bird by Wang Pan-Youn was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 725,000.00 (€ 84,086.58). This high result makes Lonely Bird the most expensive artwork by Wang Pan-Youn that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Wang Pan-Youn
Als die Arbeit Lonely Bird von Wang Pan-Youn im November 2019 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 725.000,00 (€ 84.086,58) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Lonely Bird zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Wang Pan-Youn, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
