Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Calligraphy Couplet In Running Script by Hu Shi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 10,625.00 (€ 8,624.19). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hu Shi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Poem In Running Script in September 2014 with an auction result of USD 203,000.00 (€ 160,753.88).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Calligraphy Couplet In Running Script von Hu Shi im März 2018 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 10.625,00 (€ 8.624,19) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hu Shi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Poem In Running Script im September 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 203.000,00 (€ 160.753,88).
