Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Invisible Veil No. 2 by Chen Yi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 313.00 (€ 280.62). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chen Yi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Kathy–The International Beauty Advocate in October 2008 with an auction result of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,966.51).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Invisible Veil No. 2 von Chen Yi im Juni 2015 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 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 313,00 (€ 280,62) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chen Yi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Kathy–The International Beauty Advocate im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.966,51).
