Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Hopeless by Wang Ziwei was sold in the Asian Contemporary Sale (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2008. The price achieved of HKD 350,000.00 (€ 32,437.68) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 300,000.00 – 400,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Ziwei - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Great Wave: Greetings, Comrades, which sold at auction in October 2007 for HKD 943,500.00 (€ 84,124.62).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Hopeless von Wang Ziwei wurde im Dezember 2008 in der Auktion Asian Contemporary Sale (Day Sale) bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 350.000,00 (€ 32.437,68) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 300.000,00 – 400.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Ziwei mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Great Wave: Greetings, Comrades beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für HKD 943.500,00 (€ 84.124,62) versteigert wurde.
