A top price for Fei Danxu
When the work Tour of Tao Guang Temple by Fei Danxu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 500,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 20 times as high at HKD 10,445,000.00 (€ 1,211,426.63). This high result makes Tour of Tao Guang Temple the most expensive artwork by Fei Danxu that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Fei Danxu
Als die Arbeit Tour of Tao Guang Temple von Fei Danxu im November 2019 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 500.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 10.445.000,00 (€ 1.211.426,63) mehr als 20-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Tour of Tao Guang Temple zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Fei Danxu, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
