Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Poems In Running Script by Da Chongguang was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 16,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 100,000.00 (€ 72,584.74). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Da Chongguang; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Letters sold at auction in September 2013 with the realized price of USD 149,000.00 (€ 110,084.96).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Poems In Running Script von Da Chongguang im März 2014 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 16.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 100.000,00 (€ 72.584,74) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Da Chongguang; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Letters im September 2013 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 149.000,00 (€ 110.084,96).
