Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Red Plum Blossoms / Calligraphy by Ding Fuzhi was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 150,000.00 (€ 15,856.16). Admittedly, works by Ding Fuzhi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Plum Blossoms in September 2019 with an auction result of USD 87,500.00 (€ 80,238.42).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Red Plum Blossoms / Calligraphy von Ding Fuzhi im Mai 2021 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 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 150.000,00 (€ 15.856,16) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ding Fuzhi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Plum Blossoms im September 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 80.238,42).
