Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Wang Ziwu could be acquired at Bonhams in Paris in June this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Decorative Asian Works of Art Online auction, the work Crane, 1981 changed hands for USD 1,920.00 (€ 1,758.24) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Ziwu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Li Bai and Chao Heng in May this year with an auction result of HKD 3,150,000.00 (€ 377,562.42).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Wang Ziwu konnte im Juni diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Paris für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Decorative Asian Works of Art Online wechselte die Arbeit Crane, 1981 für USD 1.920,00 (€ 1.758,24) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Ziwu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Li Bai and Chao Heng im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.150.000,00 (€ 377.562,42).
