Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Poem In Running Cursive Script Calligraphy After Mi Fu by Emperor Kangxi was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in October 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 646,250.00 (€ 92,126.38). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Emperor Kangxi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy In Running Script, which sold at auction in October 2018 for HKD 3,068,000.00 (€ 345,461.35).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Poem In Running Cursive Script Calligraphy After Mi Fu von Emperor Kangxi im Oktober 2001 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 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 646.250,00 (€ 92.126,38) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Emperor Kangxi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy In Running Script beobachtet, die im Oktober 2018 für HKD 3.068.000,00 (€ 345.461,35) versteigert wurde.
