Upper estimate price exceeded by 45 %.
The work Hat Series by Yue Minjun was sold in the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2012. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 2,180,000.00 (€ 216,156.80), 45% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yue Minjun achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Execution in October 2007 with an auction result of GBP 2,932,500.00 (€ 4,211,262.96).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 45 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Hat Series von Yue Minjun wurde im November 2012 in der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 2.180.000,00 (€ 216.156,80) und damit 45% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yue Minjun erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Execution im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.932.500,00 (€ 4.211.262,96).
