Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Figures by Zeng Yandong was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in November 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,147.50 (€ 1,016.66). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zeng Yandong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Figures in April this year with an auction result of HKD 132,000.00 (€ 134,797.83).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Figures von Zeng Yandong im November 2021 bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.147,50 (€ 1.016,66) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zeng Yandong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Figures im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 132.000,00 (€ 134.797,83).
