Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Mei Qing achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2017. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings auction, the work Rafting Beside The Cliffs sold for HKD 1,500,000.00 (€ 165,092.72) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 600,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mei Qing - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Scenes Of Mt. Huang, which sold at auction in October 2015 for HKD 3,440,000.00 (€ 401,883.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
