A top price for Ming Jian
When the work Landscapes Inspired by Poems by Ming Jian was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 212,500.00 (€ 21,073.30). This high result makes Landscapes Inspired by Poems the most expensive artwork by Ming Jian that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Ming Jian
Als die Arbeit Landscapes Inspired by Poems von Ming Jian im Mai 2013 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 212.500,00 (€ 21.073,30) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Landscapes Inspired by Poems zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Ming Jian, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
