Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Blue by Xu Ruotao was sold in the Contemporary Asian Art auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2014. The auction ended at the price of HKD 60,000.00 (€ 5,580.39), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of HKD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Xu Ruotao - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work History No. 4, which sold at auction in April 2012 for HKD 200,000.00 (€ 19,487.49).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Blue von Xu Ruotao wurde im April 2014 in der Auktion Contemporary Asian Art bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von HKD 60.000,00 (€ 5.580,39) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Xu Ruotao mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit History No. 4 beobachtet, die im April 2012 für HKD 200.000,00 (€ 19.487,49) versteigert wurde.
