Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Weng Fen could be acquired at Phillips in London in June 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Art Day auction, the work Sitting on the Wall-Guangzhou 1 changed hands for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,107.13) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Admittedly, works by Weng Fen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Beautiful World-Bird Nest in October 2008 with an auction result of GBP 31,250.00 (€ 39,832.54).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Weng Fen konnte im Juni 2009 bei Phillips in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Art Day wechselte die Arbeit Sitting on the Wall-Guangzhou 1 für GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.107,13) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Weng Fen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Beautiful World-Bird Nest im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 31.250,00 (€ 39.832,54).
