Auction result well in line with expectations
In May this year Christies in Cologne held the auction Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings, which included the work Scenery of Li River by Bai Xueshi. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 1,500,000.00 – 2,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 1,512,000.00 (€ 181,229.96) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bai Xueshi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Landscape of Li River, which sold at auction in October 2013 for HKD 4,485,000.00 (€ 425,603.21).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai diesen Jahres führte Christies in Köln die Auktion Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Scenery of Li River von Bai Xueshi zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 1.500.000,00 – 2.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 1.512.000,00 (€ 181.229,96) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Bai Xueshi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Landscape of Li River beobachtet, die im Oktober 2013 für HKD 4.485.000,00 (€ 425.603,21) versteigert wurde.
