Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Girl In Sunrise (Painted In 1987) by Chen Danqing was auctioned at China Guardian in October 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 500,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 1,920,000.00 (€ 213,573.41). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chen Danqing - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tibetan Cowboys, which sold at auction in December 2021 for HKD 6,730,000.00 (€ 762,313.13).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Girl In Sunrise (Painted In 1987) von Chen Danqing im Oktober 2021 bei China Guardian versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 500.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 1.920.000,00 (€ 213.573,41) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Chen Danqing mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Tibetan Cowboys beobachtet, die im Dezember 2021 für HKD 6.730.000,00 (€ 762.313,13) versteigert wurde.
