A top price for Liang Dingfen
When the work Correspondence by Liang Dingfen 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 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 277,200.00 (€ 32,909.59). This high result makes Correspondence the most expensive artwork by Liang Dingfen that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Liang Dingfen
Als die Arbeit Correspondence von Liang Dingfen 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 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 277.200,00 (€ 32.909,59) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Correspondence zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Liang Dingfen, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
