Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Dong Gao achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2012. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Birds among Bushes sold for HKD 375,000.00 (€ 37,182.94) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dong Gao - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Scenic Sites Of West Lake, which sold at auction in March 2009 for USD 194,500.00 (€ 146,670.69).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Dong Gao erzielte im November 2012 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy wurde die Arbeit Birds among Bushes für HKD 375.000,00 (€ 37.182,94) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 150.000,00.
