Auction result well in line with expectations
In December last year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Lohan by Jin Nong. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 3,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 3,024,000.00 (€ 362,382.50) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jin Nong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy In Qi Script, which sold at auction in October 2015 for HKD 7,520,000.00 (€ 878,536.50).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lohan von Jin Nong zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 3.000.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 3.024.000,00 (€ 362.382,50) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Jin Nong mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy In Qi Script beobachtet, die im Oktober 2015 für HKD 7.520.000,00 (€ 878.536,50) versteigert wurde.
