Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Dong Qichang achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Calligraphy in Cursive Script sold for HKD 2,772,000.00 (€ 329,095.89) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 1,000,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dong Qichang achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphy In Regular And Running Script After The Old Masters in October 2021 with an auction result of HKD 57,750,000.00 (€ 6,423,887.64).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Dong Qichang erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy wurde die Arbeit Calligraphy in Cursive Script für HKD 2.772.000,00 (€ 329.095,89) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 1.000.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dong Qichang erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Calligraphy In Regular And Running Script After The Old Masters im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 57.750.000,00 (€ 6.423.887,64).
