Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Bian Shoumin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2021. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings auction, the work Geese sold for HKD 403,200.00 (€ 44,850.42) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bian Shoumin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Album of Geese and Other Subjects, which sold at auction in June this year for HKD 1,260,000.00 (€ 147,230.77).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
