A top price for Xiong Yu - as previously expected
In October 2008 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Chinese Art, which included the work Sad Boy by Xiong Yu. The auction ended at the price of HKD 250,000.00 (€ 25,429.74), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of HKD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Sad Boy is the most expensive artwork by Xiong Yu that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Oktober 2008 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Chinese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sad Boy von Xiong Yu zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von HKD 250.000,00 (€ 25.429,74) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 150.000,00 – 250.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Sad Boy das teuerste Kunstwerk von Xiong Yu, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
