Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2014 POLY in Hong Kong held the auction Chinese and Asian Modern and Contemporary Art, which included the work Meeting by Zhang Wei. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 380,000.00 – 480,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 403,560.00 (€ 41,547.68) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhang Wei - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ac12, which sold at auction in October 2015 for HKD 1,125,000.00 (€ 131,429.99).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2014 führte POLY in Hong Kong die Auktion Chinese and Asian Modern and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Meeting von Zhang Wei zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 380.000,00 – 480.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 403.560,00 (€ 41.547,68) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Zhang Wei mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ac12 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2015 für HKD 1.125.000,00 (€ 131.429,99) versteigert wurde.
