Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Flowers by Yun Bing was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 300,000.00 (€ 29,750.54). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Yun Bing; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Flowers sold at auction in May 2013 with the realized price of HKD 475,000.00 (€ 47,105.02).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Flowers von Yun Bing im Mai 2013 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 300.000,00 (€ 29.750,54) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Yun Bing; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Flowers im Mai 2013 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 475.000,00 (€ 47.105,02).
