This artwork by Bai Bohua achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in February 2021. In the Dawn of Spring: Chinese Paintings Online auction, the work Lady sold for HKD 43,750.00 (€ 4,663.34) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bai Bohua - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lady With Flowers, which sold at auction in October 2013 for HKD 184,000.00 (€ 17,460.64).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Bai Bohua erzielte im Februar 2021 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Dawn of Spring: Chinese Paintings Online wurde die Arbeit Lady für HKD 43.750,00 (€ 4.663,34) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 20.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Bai Bohua mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Lady With Flowers beobachtet, die im Oktober 2013 für HKD 184.000,00 (€ 17.460,64) versteigert wurde.
