Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Duplication by Xing Danwen was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2008. The price achieved of HKD 52,500.00 (€ 5,340.25) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Xing Danwen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Urban Fiction 3, which sold at auction in June 2007 for GBP 10,200.00 (€ 15,136.29).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Duplication von Xing Danwen kam im Oktober 2008 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 52.500,00 (€ 5.340,25) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Xing Danwen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Urban Fiction 3 beobachtet, die im Juni 2007 für GBP 10.200,00 (€ 15.136,29) versteigert wurde.
