Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Seclusion Amid Mountains And Streams by Hongren was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 800,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 3,218,500.00 (€ 2,503,500.31). Admittedly, works by Hongren have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Landscapes And Calligraphies in April 2021 with an auction result of HKD 128,456,000.00 (€ 13,753,227.60).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Seclusion Amid Mountains And Streams von Hongren im September 2012 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 800.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 3.218.500,00 (€ 2.503.500,31) mehr als viermal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hongren auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Landscapes And Calligraphies im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 128.456.000,00 (€ 13.753.227,60).
