Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Bai Jiao achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2018. In the Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online auction, the work Calligraphy in Running Script sold for HKD 50,000.00 (€ 5,462.72) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bai Jiao achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Poem In Xingshu in April 2015 with an auction result of HKD 525,000.00 (€ 60,674.61).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Bai Jiao erzielte im Mai 2018 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online wurde die Arbeit Calligraphy in Running Script für HKD 50.000,00 (€ 5.462,72) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 18.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bai Jiao erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Poem In Xingshu im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 525.000,00 (€ 60.674,61).
