Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2017 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Modern Paintings, which included the work Ink Plum Blossom by He Xiangning. It changed hands for a price of HKD 75,000.00 (€ 8,563.99) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by He Xiangning achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Monkey in June 2015 with an auction result of HKD 875,000.00 (€ 101,196.88).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2017 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Modern Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ink Plum Blossom von He Xiangning zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von HKD 75.000,00 (€ 8.563,99) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von He Xiangning erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Monkey im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 875.000,00 (€ 101.196,88).
