Auction result well in line with expectations
In April this year China Guardian in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Herding by Cheng Shifa. The price achieved of HKD 180,000.00 (€ 183,815.22) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cheng Shifa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ladies in Leisurely Pursuits, which sold at auction in May 2014 for HKD 7,480,000.00 (€ 707,419.35).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April diesen Jahres führte China Guardian in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Herding von Cheng Shifa zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 180.000,00 (€ 183.815,22) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 150.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Cheng Shifa mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ladies in Leisurely Pursuits beobachtet, die im Mai 2014 für HKD 7.480.000,00 (€ 707.419,35) versteigert wurde.
