A top price for Liang Yuwei
When the work Couplet in Clerical Script by Liang Yuwei was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2019, 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 300,000.00 (€ 34,794.45). This high result makes Couplet in Clerical Script the most expensive artwork by Liang Yuwei that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Liang Yuwei
Als die Arbeit Couplet in Clerical Script von Liang Yuwei im November 2019 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 300.000,00 (€ 34.794,45) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Couplet in Clerical Script zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Liang Yuwei, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
