Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Sunset At The River Bank by Yan Wenliang was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 600,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 1,960,000.00 (€ 201,787.71). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yan Wenliang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Night Moon, which sold at auction in May 2016 for HKD 4,360,000.00 (€ 503,935.34).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Sunset At The River Bank von Yan Wenliang im Oktober 2014 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 600.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 1.960.000,00 (€ 201.787,71) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Yan Wenliang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Night Moon beobachtet, die im Mai 2016 für HKD 4.360.000,00 (€ 503.935,34) versteigert wurde.
