Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work Clerical Script Calligraphy by Feng Yuxiang was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at HKD 112,500.00 (€ 11,866.31). Admittedly, works by Feng Yuxiang have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Calligraphy in Clerical Script in November 2018 with an auction result of HKD 437,500.00 (€ 49,379.58).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Clerical Script Calligraphy von Feng Yuxiang im Dezember 2020 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 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 112.500,00 (€ 11.866,31) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Feng Yuxiang auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Calligraphy in Clerical Script im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 437.500,00 (€ 49.379,58).
