A top price for Li Jiafu
When the work Grandeur Of Mountains And Streams by Li Jiafu was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 812,500.00 (€ 77,102.03). This high result makes Grandeur Of Mountains And Streams the most expensive artwork by Li Jiafu that we have observed at auctions so far.

Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 812.500,00 (€ 77.102,03) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Grandeur Of Mountains And Streams zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Li Jiafu, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
