Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2008 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale), which included the work Dog Series No. 4 by Yin Qi. The price achieved of HKD 223,500.00 (€ 18,399.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 180,000.00 – 260,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yin Qi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work China Gallery, which sold at auction in April 2008 for HKD 667,500.00 (€ 55,010.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2008 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Dog Series No. 4 von Yin Qi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 223.500,00 (€ 18.399,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 180.000,00 – 260.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Yin Qi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit China Gallery beobachtet, die im April 2008 für HKD 667.500,00 (€ 55.010,44) versteigert wurde.
