Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Mao Xiang could be acquired at Christies in Hong Kong in April 2001 for an unexpectedly low price. In the FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY auction, the work Calligraphy In Running Script changed hands for HKD 35,250.00 (€ 5,092.46) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 50,000.00 – 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mao Xiang achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphy in Running Script in April last year with an auction result of HKD 819,000.00 (€ 99,023.06).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Mao Xiang konnte im April 2001 bei Christies in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY wechselte die Arbeit Calligraphy In Running Script für HKD 35.250,00 (€ 5.092,46) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 50.000,00 – 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mao Xiang erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Calligraphy in Running Script im April letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 819.000,00 (€ 99.023,06).
