This artwork by Wei Rong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2010. In the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction, the work New Rhythm Beijing MTV sold for HKD 596,000.00 (€ 61,917.70) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wei Rong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Propaganda Studio, which sold at auction in November 2007 for HKD 2,167,500.00 (€ 189,479.17).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 99 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wei Rong erzielte im Mai 2010 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) wurde die Arbeit New Rhythm Beijing MTV für HKD 596.000,00 (€ 61.917,70) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Wei Rong mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Propaganda Studio beobachtet, die im November 2007 für HKD 2.167.500,00 (€ 189.479,17) versteigert wurde.
