Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Plantain and Sparrows by Xu Beihong was sold in the Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings auction at Christies in Hong Kong in December this year. The price achieved of HKD 1,008,000.00 (€ 116,637.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Xu Beihong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Put Down Your Whip in April 2007 with an auction result of HKD 72,000,000.00 (€ 6,741,434.85).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Plantain and Sparrows von Xu Beihong wurde im Dezember diesen Jahres in der Auktion Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 1.008.000,00 (€ 116.637,14) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 800.000,00 – 1.200.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Xu Beihong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Put Down Your Whip im April 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 72.000.000,00 (€ 6.741.434,85).
