Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Landscapes and Figures by Shao Mi was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 547,500.00 (€ 47,861.52). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Shao Mi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Landscapes after Old Masters in May 2012 with an auction result of HKD 5,060,000.00 (€ 527,117.44).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Landscapes and Figures von Shao Mi im November 2007 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 547.500,00 (€ 47.861,52) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Shao Mi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Landscapes after Old Masters im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 5.060.000,00 (€ 527.117,44).
