This artwork by Fu Baoshi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in December last year. In the Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings auction, the work Scholars Strolling in Deep Mountains sold for HKD 1,071,000.00 (€ 128,343.80) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 600,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fu Baoshi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Beauty in April this year with an auction result of HKD 16,764,000.00 (€ 17,119,323.91).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Fu Baoshi erzielte im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings wurde die Arbeit Scholars Strolling in Deep Mountains für HKD 1.071.000,00 (€ 128.343,80) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 600.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fu Baoshi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Beauty im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 16.764.000,00 (€ 17.119.323,91).
