Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Wei Rong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in October 2003. In the 20TH CENTURY CHINESE ART auction, the work Enjoying Opera sold for HKD 107,550.00 (€ 11,923.24) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 40,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wei Rong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Propaganda Studio in November 2007 with an auction result of HKD 2,167,500.00 (€ 189,479.17).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wei Rong erzielte im Oktober 2003 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20TH CENTURY CHINESE ART wurde die Arbeit Enjoying Opera für HKD 107.550,00 (€ 11.923,24) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 40.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wei Rong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Propaganda Studio im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.167.500,00 (€ 189.479,17).
