Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Happy Together No. 2 by Xiong Lijun was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2007. The price achieved of USD 14,400.00 (€ 10,767.16) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Xiong Lijun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Don'T Educate Me, which sold at auction in September 2007 for USD 37,000.00 (€ 26,021.52).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Happy Together No. 2 von Xiong Lijun kam im März 2007 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 14.400,00 (€ 10.767,16) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Xiong Lijun mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Don'T Educate Me beobachtet, die im September 2007 für USD 37.000,00 (€ 26.021,52) versteigert wurde.
