A top price for Wang Yidong
In April 2013 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century Chinese Art, which included the work Teasing The Newlyweds by Wang Yidong. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 19,160,000.00 (€ 1,875,549.82), 20% above the upper estimate. With this result, Teasing The Newlyweds is even the most expensive work of art by Wang Yidong that we have observed at auctions so far.

Mit diesem Ergebnis ist Teasing The Newlyweds sogar das teuerste Kunstwerk von Wang Yidong, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
