Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Calligraphic Couplet in Seal Script by Huang Yi was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 100,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 441,000.00 (€ 52,356.16). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Huang Yi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Heading North by Boat in Spring sold at auction in April last year with the realized price of HKD 756,000.00 (€ 91,405.90).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Calligraphic Couplet in Seal Script von Huang Yi im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 100.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 441.000,00 (€ 52.356,16) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Huang Yi; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Heading North by Boat in Spring im April letzten Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 756.000,00 (€ 91.405,90).
