Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Wei Rong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2007. In the Chinese Contemporary Art II auction, the work Fragrance Of The Battlefield sold for HKD 1,440,000.00 (€ 134,828.70) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 600,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Wei Rong; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Propaganda Studio sold at auction in November 2007 with the realized price of HKD 2,167,500.00 (€ 189,479.17).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Wei Rong erzielte im April 2007 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Chinese Contemporary Art II wurde die Arbeit Fragrance Of The Battlefield für HKD 1.440.000,00 (€ 134.828,70) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 600.000,00. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Wei Rong; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Propaganda Studio im November 2007 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 2.167.500,00 (€ 189.479,17).
