Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Landscape Of Tiantai Shan by Liu Du was sold in the FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY auction at Christies in Hong Kong in July 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 400,000.00 – 500,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 418,250.00 (€ 43,557.80) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Liu Du - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Autumn Landscape, which sold at auction in November 2011 for HKD 1,220,000.00 (€ 116,713.00).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Landscape Of Tiantai Shan von Liu Du wurde im Juli 2003 in der Auktion FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 400.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 418.250,00 (€ 43.557,80) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Liu Du mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Autumn Landscape beobachtet, die im November 2011 für HKD 1.220.000,00 (€ 116.713,00) versteigert wurde.
