A top price for Ye Yun
When the work Appreciating Clouds by Ye Yun was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 400,000.00 (€ 37,957.92). This high result makes Appreciating Clouds the most expensive artwork by Ye Yun that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Ye Yun
Als die Arbeit Appreciating Clouds von Ye Yun im Oktober 2013 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 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 400.000,00 (€ 37.957,92) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Appreciating Clouds zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Ye Yun, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
