Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Landscape After Wen Zhengming by Liu Yanchong was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 150,000.00 (€ 133,475.71). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Liu Yanchong; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Scholar Brewing Tea After Chou Ying sold at auction in October 2017 with the realized price of HKD 1,562,500.00 (€ 171,971.58).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Landscape After Wen Zhengming von Liu Yanchong im September 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 150.000,00 (€ 133.475,71) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Liu Yanchong; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Scholar Brewing Tea After Chou Ying im Oktober 2017 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 1.562.500,00 (€ 171.971,58).
