Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Landscape After Ancient Masters by Cai Jia was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 220,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at HKD 1,323,000.00 (€ 146,533.01). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cai Jia achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mountains and Rivers Without End in November 2017 with an auction result of HKD 24,100,000.00 (€ 2,594,730.21).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Landscape After Ancient Masters von Cai Jia im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 220.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 1.323.000,00 (€ 146.533,01) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cai Jia erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mountains and Rivers Without End im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 24.100.000,00 (€ 2.594.730,21).
