Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Raining At Twilight by Xing Baozhuang was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in April 2001, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 35,000.00 – 45,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 23,500.00 (€ 3,394.97). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Xing Baozhuang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Drinking Beside The River, which sold at auction in November 2005 for HKD 120,000.00 (€ 13,129.77).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Raining At Twilight von Xing Baozhuang im April 2001 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 35.000,00 – 45.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 23.500,00 (€ 3.394,97) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Xing Baozhuang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Drinking Beside The River beobachtet, die im November 2005 für HKD 120.000,00 (€ 13.129,77) versteigert wurde.
