A top price for Fang Shishu
When the work The Autumn Colors On The Qiao And Hua Mountain Following Zhao Mengfu And Dong Qichang by Fang Shishu was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 250,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 1,330,000.00 (€ 1,183,484.61). This high result makes The Autumn Colors On The Qiao And Hua Mountain Following Zhao Mengfu And Dong Qichang the most expensive artwork by Fang Shishu that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Fang Shishu
Als die Arbeit The Autumn Colors On The Qiao And Hua Mountain Following Zhao Mengfu And Dong Qichang von Fang Shishu im September 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 250.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 1.330.000,00 (€ 1.183.484,61) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Autumn Colors On The Qiao And Hua Mountain Following Zhao Mengfu And Dong Qichang zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Fang Shishu, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
