Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work Calligraphic Couplet by Dai Jitao was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at HKD 225,000.00 (€ 24,292.77). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dai Jitao - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy - Buddhist Scriptures, which sold at auction in May 2021 for HKD 875,000.00 (€ 92,494.26).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Calligraphic Couplet von Dai Jitao im November 2020 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 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 225.000,00 (€ 24.292,77) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Dai Jitao mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy - Buddhist Scriptures beobachtet, die im Mai 2021 für HKD 875.000,00 (€ 92.494,26) versteigert wurde.
