Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Mountain Pavilion by Weng Tonghe was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 252,000.00 (€ 27,911.05). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Mountain Pavilion von Weng Tonghe im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 252.000,00 (€ 27.911,05) mehr als viermal so hoch. 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.
