Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Spurred On Through Misty Clouds by Wang Xuehao was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 175,000.00 (€ 155,721.66). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Xuehao - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Secluded Studio in the Cloudy Mountains, which sold at auction in May 2013 for HKD 3,870,000.00 (€ 383,781.95).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Spurred On Through Misty Clouds von Wang Xuehao im September 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 175.000,00 (€ 155.721,66) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Xuehao mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Secluded Studio in the Cloudy Mountains beobachtet, die im Mai 2013 für HKD 3.870.000,00 (€ 383.781,95) versteigert wurde.
