Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Chrysanthemums by Ma Quan was worth HKD 214,200.00 (€ 25,898.34) to a buyer in April last year. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings at Sothebys in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 50,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ma Quan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flower, Bird and Insect, which sold at auction in November 2016 for HKD 475,000.00 (€ 57,881.92).
