A top price for Ma Wanli
When the work Flowers And Birds by Ma Wanli was auctioned at China Guardian in Hong Kong in April 2018, 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 eight times as high at HKD 177,000.00 (€ 18,676.33). This high result makes Flowers And Birds the most expensive artwork by Ma Wanli that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Ma Wanli
Als die Arbeit Flowers And Birds von Ma Wanli im April 2018 bei China Guardian 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 177.000,00 (€ 18.676,33) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Flowers And Birds zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Ma Wanli, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
