Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Chang'E Racing To The Moon by Wang Xiangming was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 45,000.00 – 55,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 44,200.00 (€ 27,965.83). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Xiangming - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in October 2007 for HKD 631,500.00 (€ 56,305.99).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Chang'E Racing To The Moon von Wang Xiangming im März 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 45.000,00 – 55.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 44.200,00 (€ 27.965,83) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Xiangming mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für HKD 631.500,00 (€ 56.305,99) versteigert wurde.
