Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Letters to Lu Tieyuan by Weng Tonghe was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2020. The price achieved of HKD 225,000.00 (€ 23,732.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 160,000.00 – 320,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Weng Tonghe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script, which sold at auction in November 2017 for HKD 750,000.00 (€ 80,748.87).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Letters to Lu Tieyuan von Weng Tonghe kam im Dezember 2020 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 225.000,00 (€ 23.732,62) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 160.000,00 – 320.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Weng Tonghe mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script beobachtet, die im November 2017 für HKD 750.000,00 (€ 80.748,87) versteigert wurde.
