This artwork by Li Fangying achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2007. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Fish sold for HKD 108,000.00 (€ 10,283.80) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Li Fangying achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flowers in September 2014 with an auction result of USD 461,000.00 (€ 365,061.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 80 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Li Fangying erzielte im Mai 2007 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy wurde die Arbeit Fish für HKD 108.000,00 (€ 10.283,80) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Li Fangying erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flowers im September 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 461.000,00 (€ 365.061,77).
