Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Waterdrops & Diamonds, 2007 by Yang Qian was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 5,000.00 (€ 4,302.19). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yang Qian achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November 2007 with an auction result of HKD 607,500.00 (€ 53,106.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Waterdrops & Diamonds, 2007 von Yang Qian im September 2018 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 5.000,00 (€ 4.302,19) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yang Qian erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 607.500,00 (€ 53.106,62).
