Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Figures by Dai Dunbang was auctioned at Christies in December 2021, 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 three times as high at HKD 250,000.00 (€ 28,317.72). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dai Dunbang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Luohans, which sold at auction in May 2014 for HKD 750,000.00 (€ 70,931.09).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Figures von Dai Dunbang im Dezember 2021 bei Christies 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 250.000,00 (€ 28.317,72) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Dai Dunbang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Luohans beobachtet, die im Mai 2014 für HKD 750.000,00 (€ 70.931,09) versteigert wurde.
