Auction result well in line with expectations
In June this year Christies in Paris held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Brewing Tea for Scholar by Mo Shilong. The price achieved of HKD 94,500.00 (€ 11,042.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 80,000.00 – 100,000.00. Admittedly, works by Mo Shilong have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Five-character Poem in Cursive Script in June 2015 with an auction result of HKD 687,500.00 (€ 79,511.83).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni diesen Jahres führte Christies in Paris die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Brewing Tea for Scholar von Mo Shilong zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 94.500,00 (€ 11.042,31) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 80.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mo Shilong auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Five-character Poem in Cursive Script im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 687.500,00 (€ 79.511,83).
