Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Gong Xian achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2017. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings auction, the work Thatched Huts By The Riverside sold for HKD 875,000.00 (€ 103,281.32) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 300,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gong Xian achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dwelling In Seclusion Amid Rivers And Mountains in March 2015 with an auction result of USD 2,410,000.00 (€ 2,243,738.94).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gong Xian erzielte im April 2017 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings wurde die Arbeit Thatched Huts By The Riverside für HKD 875.000,00 (€ 103.281,32) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 300.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gong Xian erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dwelling In Seclusion Amid Rivers And Mountains im März 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.410.000,00 (€ 2.243.738,94).
