Price realised: 11.875 GBP
Yin Jun (b. 1974)
Crying

oil on canvas
47 1/8 x 39 3/8in. (119.8 x 100cm.)
Painted in August 2006

Upper estimate price exceeded by 48 %.

In April 2008 Christies in London held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work Crying by Yin Jun. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,875.00 (€ 15,138.95), 48% above the upper estimate. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 48 % übertroffen

Im April 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Crying von Yin Jun zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 11.875,00 (€ 15.138,95) und damit 48% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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.
