The work Felicitous Calligraphy by Empress Dowager Cixi was sold in the Fine Chinese Paintings auction at Christies in New York in March 2018. The »bidding war« ended at USD 20,000.00 (€ 16,233.77), 33% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Empress Dowager Cixi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lotus, Root and Seed in May 2013 with an auction result of HKD 3,150,000.00 (€ 312,380.66).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Felicitous Calligraphy von Empress Dowager Cixi wurde im März 2018 in der Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 20.000,00 (€ 16.233,77) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Empress Dowager Cixi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lotus, Root and Seed im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.150.000,00 (€ 312.380,66).
