Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Wen Zhengming could be acquired at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Running Script Calligraphy changed hands for HKD 280,000.00 (€ 33,242.01) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 500,000.00 – 700,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wen Zhengming achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Poems In Large Running Script in May 2019 with an auction result of HKD 83,227,500.00 (€ 9,525,364.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wen Zhengming konnte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy wechselte die Arbeit Running Script Calligraphy für HKD 280.000,00 (€ 33.242,01) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 500.000,00 – 700.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wen Zhengming erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Poems In Large Running Script im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 83.227.500,00 (€ 9.525.364,61).
