A top price for Emperor Daoguang
When the work Seven-character Poem in Running Script Calligraphy by Emperor Daoguang was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 980,000.00 (€ 93,753.07). This high result makes Seven-character Poem in Running Script Calligraphy the most expensive artwork by Emperor Daoguang that we have observed at auctions so far.

Als die Arbeit Seven-character Poem in Running Script Calligraphy von Emperor Daoguang im November 2011 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 200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 980.000,00 (€ 93.753,07) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Seven-character Poem in Running Script Calligraphy zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Emperor Daoguang, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
