Under the influence of his grandfather, who was a Chinese painting artist, he began learning painting landscape and figures at a young age. He was in the Chinese Art Society, and became acquainted with Hu Chaofan, Feng Chaoran, and other likeminded peers. In 1946, through Li Qiujun, he became a student of Zhang Daqian.
Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Playing Qing by River by Mi Gengyun was sold in the Summer Reverie: Chinese Paintings Online auction at Christies in New York in August this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 30,240.00 (€ 3,557.15) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mi Gengyun achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lotus And Bird in November 2013 with an auction result of HKD 500,000.00 (€ 47,405.56).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Playing Qing by River von Mi Gengyun wurde im August diesen Jahres in der Auktion Summer Reverie: Chinese Paintings Online bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 30.240,00 (€ 3.557,15) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mi Gengyun erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lotus And Bird im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 500.000,00 (€ 47.405,56).
