Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2018 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Asian 20th Century Art (Day Sale) Including a Selection of Japanese Woodblock Prints from Private Collections, which included this untitled work by Wang Yan Cheng. The price achieved of HKD 1,875,000.00 (€ 211,626.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 1,500,000.00 – 2,500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Yan Cheng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in November 2013 for HKD 5,440,000.00 (€ 515,772.45).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2018 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian 20th Century Art (Day Sale) Including a Selection of Japanese Woodblock Prints from Private Collections durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Wang Yan Cheng zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 1.875.000,00 (€ 211.626,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 1.500.000,00 – 2.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Yan Cheng 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 November 2013 für HKD 5.440.000,00 (€ 515.772,45) versteigert wurde.
