Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June last year Bonhams in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Paintings, which included the work Lychee, Bee and Grasshopper by Qi Baishi. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 120,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 127,500.00 (€ 15,515.81). 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lychee, Bee and Grasshopper von Qi Baishi zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 120.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 127.500,00 (€ 15.515,81) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
