Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Cricket and Chrysanthemum by Qi Baishi was worth AUD 103,320.00 (€ 63,774.09) to a buyer in December this year. This price was achieved in the auction Asian Art at Bonhams in Sydney and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of AUD 22,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Qi Baishi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Willows At The Riverside; Begonias in April 2012 with an auction result of HKD 70,100,000.00 (€ 6,830,365.11).

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Qi Baishi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Willows At The Riverside; Begonias im April 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 70.100.000,00 (€ 6.830.365,11).
