A top price for Cai Yuanpei
When the work Seven-character Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script by Cai Yuanpei was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2018, 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 seven times as high at HKD 875,000.00 (€ 98,759.16). This high result makes Seven-character Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script the most expensive artwork by Cai Yuanpei that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Cai Yuanpei
Als die Arbeit Seven-character Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script von Cai Yuanpei im November 2018 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 875.000,00 (€ 98.759,16) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Seven-character Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Cai Yuanpei, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
