Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Qi Baishi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in July 2003. In the Fine Modern and Contemporary Chinese Paintings auction, the work Shrimp sold for HKD 191,200.00 (€ 19,912.14) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 70,000.00. 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 um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Qi Baishi erzielte im Juli 2003 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Modern and Contemporary Chinese Paintings wurde die Arbeit Shrimp für HKD 191.200,00 (€ 19.912,14) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 70.000,00. 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).
