Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2008 Phillips in London held the auction Contemporary Art Part II, which included the work Crying by Yin Jun. The price achieved of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 12,746.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yin Jun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Crying No. 3, which sold at auction in September 2008 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 35,508.84).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2008 führte Phillips in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Part II durch, in der auch die Arbeit Crying von Yin Jun zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 12.746,41) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Yin Jun mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Crying No. 3 beobachtet, die im September 2008 für USD 50.000,00 (€ 35.508,84) versteigert wurde.
