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.

In June 2021 Bonhams in Hong Kong held the auction Chinese Paintings Online, which included the work Calligraphy Couplet In Running Script by Chen Shaobai. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 20,400.00 (€ 2,215.97), 70% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chen Shaobai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphy Couplet In Xingshu in October 2011 with an auction result of HKD 275,000.00 (€ 25,396.14).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 70 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2021 führte Bonhams in Hong Kong die Auktion Chinese Paintings Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Calligraphy Couplet In Running Script von Chen Shaobai zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 20.400,00 (€ 2.215,97) und damit 70% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chen Shaobai erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Calligraphy Couplet In Xingshu im Oktober 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 275.000,00 (€ 25.396,14).
