Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price

When the work Birds by Lu Kunfeng was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,300.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 9,375.00 (€ 7,962.46). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lu Kunfeng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bamboo, Rocks And Orchids, which sold at auction in March 2011 for USD 25,000.00 (€ 17,626.74).

Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Birds von Lu Kunfeng im Juli 2020 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.300,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 9.375,00 (€ 7.962,46) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Lu Kunfeng mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bamboo, Rocks And Orchids beobachtet, die im März 2011 für USD 25.000,00 (€ 17.626,74) versteigert wurde.
