Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Poem In Running Script by Wang Shoupeng was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,911.66). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Shoupeng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy, which sold at auction in April this year for HKD 9,600.00 (€ 9,803.48).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Poem In Running Script von Wang Shoupeng im September 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 3.250,00 (€ 2.911,66) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Shoupeng mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy beobachtet, die im April diesen Jahres für HKD 9.600,00 (€ 9.803,48) versteigert wurde.
