Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Calligraphy by Lin Sen was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 37,500.00 (€ 4,048.79). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lin Sen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy in Regular Script, which sold at auction in October 2013 for HKD 97,750.00 (€ 9,275.97).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Calligraphy von Lin Sen im November 2020 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 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 37.500,00 (€ 4.048,79) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Lin Sen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy in Regular Script beobachtet, die im Oktober 2013 für HKD 97.750,00 (€ 9.275,97) versteigert wurde.
