Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Bird By A Lotus Pond by Xu Wei was sold in the FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY auction at Christies in Hong Kong in April 2001. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 211,500.00 (€ 30,554.77) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Xu Wei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Various Objects in October 2021 with an auction result of HKD 3,276,000.00 (€ 364,409.63).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Bird By A Lotus Pond von Xu Wei wurde im April 2001 in der Auktion FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 211.500,00 (€ 30.554,77) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Xu Wei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Various Objects im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.276.000,00 (€ 364.409,63).
