Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December this year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings, which included the work Cooking by Feng Zikai. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 300,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 327,600.00 (€ 37,907.07). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Feng Zikai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pleasures of Life in November 2017 with an auction result of HKD 11,500,000.00 (€ 1,238,149.27).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember diesen Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cooking von Feng Zikai zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 300.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 327.600,00 (€ 37.907,07) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Feng Zikai erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pleasures of Life im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 11.500.000,00 (€ 1.238.149,27).
