Description
Fine 18th to 20th Century Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy from the Collection of Tanyuan Shanfang 檀圓山房珍藏十八至二十世紀中國書畫 LOTS 82-101 The Tanyuan Shanfang collection of twenty paintings was formed between 1970s to 2000s. Having grown up overseas, the collector was first introduced to Chinese calligraphy in the late 1940s through a Chinese language program, where he grew fond of the art form and developed a deep interest in its long rich tradition and history.

Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2021 Bonhams in Hong Kong held the auction Chinese Paintings Online, which included the work Calligraphy In Running Script by Cai Yuanpei. The price achieved of HKD 25,500.00 (€ 2,769.96) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 20,000.00 – 40,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cai Yuanpei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Seven-character Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script in November 2018 with an auction result of HKD 875,000.00 (€ 98,759.16).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2021 führte Bonhams in Hong Kong die Auktion Chinese Paintings Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Calligraphy In Running Script von Cai Yuanpei zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 25.500,00 (€ 2.769,96) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 20.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cai Yuanpei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Seven-character Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 875.000,00 (€ 98.759,16).
