Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Flowers And Trees by Fang Xun was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 27,500.00 (€ 25,602.83). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fang Xun achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tea Tasting in May 2013 with an auction result of HKD 2,670,000.00 (€ 264,779.80).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Flowers And Trees von Fang Xun im März 2015 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 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 27.500,00 (€ 25.602,83) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fang Xun erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tea Tasting im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.670.000,00 (€ 264.779,80).
