A top price for Mao Dun
When the work Calligraphy of Mao Zedong Poem by Mao Dun was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 81,250.00 (€ 75,948.78). This high result makes Calligraphy of Mao Zedong Poem the most expensive artwork by Mao Dun that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Mao Dun
Als die Arbeit Calligraphy of Mao Zedong Poem von Mao Dun im März 2017 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 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 81.250,00 (€ 75.948,78) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Calligraphy of Mao Zedong Poem zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Mao Dun, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
