In April 2015 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Asian Art, which included the work Flower by Wang Yin. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 562,500.00 (€ 65,008.51), 61% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Wang Yin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in April 2021 with an auction result of HKD 3,840,000.00 (€ 411,132.17).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 61 % übertroffen

Im April 2015 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Flower von Wang Yin zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 562.500,00 (€ 65.008,51) und damit 61% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Wang Yin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.840.000,00 (€ 411.132,17).
