Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.

In October 2013 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century Chinese Art, which included the work Receding Figure by Ma Ming. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 75,000.00 (€ 7,117.11), 50% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Ma Ming; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Passion sold at auction in April 2014 with the realized price of HKD 81,250.00 (€ 7,556.78).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen

Im Oktober 2013 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century Chinese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Receding Figure von Ma Ming zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 75.000,00 (€ 7.117,11) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Ma Ming; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Passion im April 2014 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 81.250,00 (€ 7.556,78).
