Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work A Palace Concert After Tang Artist by An Ho was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 525,000.00 (€ 55,395.89). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by An Ho; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Horse Polo sold at auction in October 2017 with the realized price of HKD 750,000.00 (€ 82,546.36).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A Palace Concert After Tang Artist von An Ho im April 2018 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 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 525.000,00 (€ 55.395,89) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von An Ho; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Horse Polo im Oktober 2017 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 750.000,00 (€ 82.546,36).
