This artwork by Liu Wenxi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Hong Kong in December 2020. In the Chinese PaintingsThe Online Sale auction, the work A Minority Girl with Flower Basket sold for HKD 63,750.00 (€ 6,724.24) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Liu Wenxi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of An Old Man in July last year with an auction result of HKD 840,000.00 (€ 104,814.74).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Liu Wenxi erzielte im Dezember 2020 bei Bonhams in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Chinese PaintingsThe Online Sale wurde die Arbeit A Minority Girl with Flower Basket für HKD 63.750,00 (€ 6.724,24) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Liu Wenxi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of An Old Man im Juli letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 840.000,00 (€ 104.814,74).
