Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In May 2007 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Winter Night Reading by Fan Qi. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 240,000.00 (€ 22,852.90), 20% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Fan Qi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Travelling in the Mountains in Autumn in October 2014 with an auction result of HKD 1,380,000.00 (€ 142,075.02).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Winter Night Reading von Fan Qi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 240.000,00 (€ 22.852,90) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Fan Qi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Travelling in the Mountains in Autumn im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.380.000,00 (€ 142.075,02).
