Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Wen Jia achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in September 2012. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings auction, the work Living Alone In A Thatched Hut sold for USD 134,500.00 (€ 104,620.41) - well above the upper estimate of USD 45,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wen Jia achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Thatched Cottage In The Southern Village (Nancun Caotang Tu), After Wang Meng in March 2012 with an auction result of USD 5,122,500.00 (€ 3,841,682.92).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wen Jia erzielte im September 2012 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings wurde die Arbeit Living Alone In A Thatched Hut für USD 134.500,00 (€ 104.620,41) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 45.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wen Jia erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Thatched Cottage In The Southern Village (Nancun Caotang Tu), After Wang Meng im März 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.122.500,00 (€ 3.841.682,92).
