Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ink Bamboo by Jing Hengyi was sold in the Fine Modern Chinese Paintings auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2007. The price achieved of HKD 18,000.00 (€ 1,713.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Admittedly, works by Jing Hengyi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Calligraphy in Running Script in April 2014 with an auction result of HKD 184,000.00 (€ 17,113.19).
