Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2021 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings, which included the work Opera Figures from The Magic Lotus Lantern by Lin Fengmian. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 6,000,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 6,850,000.00 (€ 761,650.57). Admittedly, works by Lin Fengmian have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work FISHING VILLAGE in November 2016 with an auction result of HKD 39,740,000.00 (€ 4,842,584.61).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2021 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Opera Figures from The Magic Lotus Lantern von Lin Fengmian zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 6.000.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 6.850.000,00 (€ 761.650,57) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lin Fengmian auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit FISHING VILLAGE im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 39.740.000,00 (€ 4.842.584,61).
