Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Su Shi'S Poem In Running Script by Li Hongzhang was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 50,000.00 (€ 46,550.60). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Li Hongzhang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy, which sold at auction in April 2013 for HKD 1,035,000.00 (€ 101,314.93).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Su Shi'S Poem In Running Script von Li Hongzhang im März 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 50.000,00 (€ 46.550,60) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Li Hongzhang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy beobachtet, die im April 2013 für HKD 1.035.000,00 (€ 101.314,93) versteigert wurde.
