Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Wen Zhengming achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in October 2004. In the FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY auction, the work Twelves Poems On Scenes of Xishan In Running Cursive Script Calligraphy sold for HKD 657,250.00 (€ 66,209.71) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 300,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wen Zhengming erzielte im Oktober 2004 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY wurde die Arbeit Twelves Poems On Scenes of Xishan In Running Cursive Script Calligraphy für HKD 657.250,00 (€ 66.209,71) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 300.000,00. 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).
