Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Man Leading Horse/Calligraphy by Li Ruiqing was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 100,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 441,000.00 (€ 52,356.16). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Li Ruiqing - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy Couplet In Jinwen, which sold at auction in April 2015 for HKD 1,000,000.00 (€ 115,570.69).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Man Leading Horse/Calligraphy von Li Ruiqing im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 100.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 441.000,00 (€ 52.356,16) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Li Ruiqing mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy Couplet In Jinwen beobachtet, die im April 2015 für HKD 1.000.000,00 (€ 115.570,69) versteigert wurde.
