The work Ink Landscape by Wang Gai was sold in the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2015. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 475,000.00 (€ 58,014.58), 19% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Gai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Estate By The City Of Qi in September 2016 with an auction result of USD 1,090,000.00 (€ 969,923.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Ink Landscape von Wang Gai wurde im November 2015 in der Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 475.000,00 (€ 58.014,58) und damit 19% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Gai erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Estate By The City Of Qi im September 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.090.000,00 (€ 969.923,47).
