A top price for Cao Xiuxian
When the work Running Script Calligraphy by Cao Xiuxian was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 475,000.00 (€ 47,105.02). This high result makes Running Script Calligraphy the most expensive artwork by Cao Xiuxian that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Cao Xiuxian
Als die Arbeit Running Script Calligraphy von Cao Xiuxian im Mai 2013 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 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 475.000,00 (€ 47.105,02) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Running Script Calligraphy zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Cao Xiuxian, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
