Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
When the work Calligraphy Couplet In Running Script by Bai Jiao was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at USD 52,500.00 (€ 46,758.10). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Bai Jiao; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Poem In Xingshu sold at auction in April 2015 with the realized price of HKD 525,000.00 (€ 60,674.61).
Kunstwerk zum Achtfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Calligraphy Couplet In Running Script von Bai Jiao im März 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 52.500,00 (€ 46.758,10) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Bai Jiao; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Poem In Xingshu im April 2015 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 525.000,00 (€ 60.674,61).
