Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2008 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Chinese Art, which included the work Three Little Red Books by Xu Yihui. The price achieved of HKD 137,500.00 (€ 13,986.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Xu Yihui - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Little Red Books Series 2003-2006 (192 Books), which sold at auction in March 2007 for USD 45,600.00 (€ 34,096.01).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2008 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Chinese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Three Little Red Books von Xu Yihui zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 137.500,00 (€ 13.986,36) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Xu Yihui mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Little Red Books Series 2003-2006 (192 Books) beobachtet, die im März 2007 für USD 45.600,00 (€ 34.096,01) versteigert wurde.
