Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Perched Parrot by Xu Lei was sold in the Contemporary Ink Art: Confluence auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2017. It changed hands for a price of HKD 437,500.00 (€ 48,152.04) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 350,000.00 – 450,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Xu Lei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Decent Of The Moon in April 2015 with an auction result of HKD 5,900,000.00 (€ 681,867.05).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Perched Parrot von Xu Lei wurde im Oktober 2017 in der Auktion Contemporary Ink Art: Confluence bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von HKD 437.500,00 (€ 48.152,04) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 350.000,00 – 450.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Xu Lei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Decent Of The Moon im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 5.900.000,00 (€ 681.867,05).
