Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Ni Tian could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in March 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy auction, the work Butterfly And Tigerlily changed hands for USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,896.51) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ni Tian 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 60,000.00 (€ 61,271.74).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ni Tian konnte im März 2019 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy wechselte die Arbeit Butterfly And Tigerlily für USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.896,51) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ni Tian erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Figures im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 60.000,00 (€ 61.271,74).
