Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work White Plum Blossoms And Camellia by Li Qiujun 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 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 275,000.00 (€ 26,096.07). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Li Qiujun achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Revising Books in the Northern Qi Dynasty, After Yan Liben in May 2014 with an auction result of HKD 3,040,000.00 (€ 287,507.33).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit White Plum Blossoms And Camellia von Li Qiujun im Oktober 2013 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 275.000,00 (€ 26.096,07) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Li Qiujun erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Revising Books in the Northern Qi Dynasty, After Yan Liben im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.040.000,00 (€ 287.507,33).
