In September 2012 Sothebys in New York held the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings, which included the work Landscape by Wang Shimin. The »bidding war« ended at USD 110,500.00 (€ 85,952.08), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Shimin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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).

Im September 2012 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Landscape von Wang Shimin zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 110.500,00 (€ 85.952,08) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Shimin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Reading in the Autumn Mountain im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 10.180.000,00 (€ 1.060.485,28).
