Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Mist And Rain On River by Da Chongguang was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 20,900.00 (€ 29,265.41). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Da Chongguang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Letters, which sold at auction in September 2013 for USD 149,000.00 (€ 110,084.96).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Mist And Rain On River von Da Chongguang im November 2007 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 20.900,00 (€ 29.265,41) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Da Chongguang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Letters beobachtet, die im September 2013 für USD 149.000,00 (€ 110.084,96) versteigert wurde.
