Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work A Crane by the River by Xiang Shengmo was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 870,000.00 (€ 86,276.56). Admittedly, works by Xiang Shengmo have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Dreamin Of The Peach Pavillion in April 2014 with an auction result of HKD 5,750,000.00 (€ 534,787.31).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A Crane by the River von Xiang Shengmo im Mai 2013 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 870.000,00 (€ 86.276,56) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Xiang Shengmo auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Dreamin Of The Peach Pavillion im April 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 5.750.000,00 (€ 534.787,31).
