A top price for Xie Lansheng
When the work Landscapes by Xie Lansheng was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 14,900.00 (€ 20,863.85). This high result makes Landscapes the most expensive artwork by Xie Lansheng that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Xie Lansheng
Als die Arbeit Landscapes von Xie Lansheng im November 2007 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 14.900,00 (€ 20.863,85) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Landscapes zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Xie Lansheng, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
