Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Wei Jia achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in October 2019. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work David III sold for GBP 37,500.00 (€ 43,497.31) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wei Jia achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nowhere to Escape IV in April this year with an auction result of HKD 720,000.00 (€ 735,260.87).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wei Jia erzielte im Oktober 2019 bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit David III für GBP 37.500,00 (€ 43.497,31) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wei Jia erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nowhere to Escape IV im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 720.000,00 (€ 735.260,87).
