This artwork by Liu Mengkuan achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2017. In the Fine Chinese Modern Paintings auction, the work Butterfly Lovers Concerto-Transformation sold for HKD 125,000.00 (€ 13,458.14) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Liu Mengkuan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Majestic Landscape of Mount Huang, which sold at auction in November 2018 for HKD 325,000.00 (€ 36,681.97).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Liu Mengkuan erzielte im November 2017 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Modern Paintings wurde die Arbeit Butterfly Lovers Concerto-Transformation für HKD 125.000,00 (€ 13.458,14) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 70.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Liu Mengkuan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Majestic Landscape of Mount Huang beobachtet, die im November 2018 für HKD 325.000,00 (€ 36.681,97) versteigert wurde.
