Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Houses in the Forest by Wang Shimin was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2012. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 1,200,000.00 – 1,500,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 1,220,000.00 (€ 127,091.56) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Wang Shimin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Reading in the Autumn Mountain in May 2012 with an auction result of HKD 10,180,000.00 (€ 1,060,485.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Houses in the Forest von Wang Shimin kam im Mai 2012 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 1.200.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 1.220.000,00 (€ 127.091,56) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Wang Shimin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Reading in the Autumn Mountain im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 10.180.000,00 (€ 1.060.485,28).
