Estimate: 70.000 - 90.000 HKD

Hanging scroll, ink on paper
74 x 38 cm. (29 1/8 x 15 in.)
Inscribed and signed, with one seal of the artist
Dedicated to Kamei Katsuichiro (1907-1966)
NOTE :
Kamei Katsuichiro was a Japanese literary and art critic, particularly known for his work on classical and modern literature. He visited China many times.

Auction result well in line with expectations

In November 2016 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Modern Paintings, which included the work Calligraphy by Guo Moruo. It changed hands for a price of HKD 87,500.00 (€ 10,662.46) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 70,000.00 – 90,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Guo Moruo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphy In Xingshu in October 2014 with an auction result of HKD 2,080,000.00 (€ 214,142.06).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im November 2016 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Modern Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Calligraphy von Guo Moruo zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von HKD 87.500,00 (€ 10.662,46) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 70.000,00 – 90.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Guo Moruo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Calligraphy In Xingshu im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.080.000,00 (€ 214.142,06).
