A top price for Feng Yuxiang
When the work Calligraphy in Clerical Script by Feng Yuxiang was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at HKD 437,500.00 (€ 49,379.58). This high result makes Calligraphy in Clerical Script the most expensive artwork by Feng Yuxiang that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Feng Yuxiang
Als die Arbeit Calligraphy in Clerical Script von Feng Yuxiang im November 2018 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 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 437.500,00 (€ 49.379,58) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Calligraphy in Clerical Script zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Feng Yuxiang, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
