Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Yu Youren achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in December last year. In the Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings auction, the work Five-Character Calligraphic Couplet in Cursive Script sold for HKD 176,400.00 (€ 21,138.98) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yu Youren achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphy in Cursive Script in November 2017 with an auction result of HKD 3,820,000.00 (€ 411,280.89).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Yu Youren erzielte im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings wurde die Arbeit Five-Character Calligraphic Couplet in Cursive Script für HKD 176.400,00 (€ 21.138,98) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 80.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yu Youren erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Calligraphy in Cursive Script im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.820.000,00 (€ 411.280,89).
