Calligraphy in Running Script
Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Calligraphy In Running Script - The Interpretation Of Calligraphy By Zhou Xianzong / Calligraphy In Running Script / Calligraphy In Clerical Script - Zhang Qian Ston Tablets by Ma Gongyu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in February 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 75,000.00 (€ 7,994.29). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ma Gongyu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy Couplet In Lishu, which sold at auction in October 2017 for HKD 275,000.00 (€ 30,267.00).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Calligraphy In Running Script - The Interpretation Of Calligraphy By Zhou Xianzong / Calligraphy In Running Script / Calligraphy In Clerical Script - Zhang Qian Ston Tablets von Ma Gongyu im Februar 2021 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 75.000,00 (€ 7.994,29) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Ma Gongyu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy Couplet In Lishu beobachtet, die im Oktober 2017 für HKD 275.000,00 (€ 30.267,00) versteigert wurde.
