Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Man Sleeping In A Boat by Dai Jin was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2005, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 300,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 1,440,000.00 (€ 157,557.25). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dai Jin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Grand View Of Mountains And Rivers, which sold at auction in March 2013 for USD 461,000.00 (€ 359,706.62).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Man Sleeping In A Boat von Dai Jin im November 2005 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 300.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 1.440.000,00 (€ 157.557,25) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Dai Jin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Grand View Of Mountains And Rivers beobachtet, die im März 2013 für USD 461.000,00 (€ 359.706,62) versteigert wurde.
