A top price for Bi Yuan
When the work Calligraphy in Running Script by Bi Yuan was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2019, 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 three times as high at HKD 375,000.00 (€ 43,493.06). This high result makes Calligraphy in Running Script the most expensive artwork by Bi Yuan that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Bi Yuan
Als die Arbeit Calligraphy in Running Script von Bi Yuan im November 2019 bei Christies 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 375.000,00 (€ 43.493,06) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Calligraphy in Running Script zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Bi Yuan, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
