Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Five-Character Poem in Running Script by Emperor Yongzheng was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2010, 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 three times as high at HKD 680,000.00 (€ 70,644.35). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Emperor Yongzheng; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Calligraphy In Xingshu sold at auction in April 2013 with the realized price of HKD 937,500.00 (€ 91,770.77).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Five-Character Poem in Running Script von Emperor Yongzheng im Mai 2010 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 680.000,00 (€ 70.644,35) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Emperor Yongzheng; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Calligraphy In Xingshu im April 2013 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 937.500,00 (€ 91.770,77).
