Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Landscape In Old Masters' Style by Fang Shishu was auctioned at China Guardian in Hong Kong in November 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 600,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 2,950,000.00 (€ 359,477.22). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fang Shishu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Autumn Colors On The Qiao And Hua Mountain Following Zhao Mengfu And Dong Qichang, which sold at auction in September 2016 for USD 1,330,000.00 (€ 1,183,484.61).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Landscape In Old Masters' Style von Fang Shishu im November 2016 bei China Guardian in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 600.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 2.950.000,00 (€ 359.477,22) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Fang Shishu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Autumn Colors On The Qiao And Hua Mountain Following Zhao Mengfu And Dong Qichang beobachtet, die im September 2016 für USD 1.330.000,00 (€ 1.183.484,61) versteigert wurde.
