Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2021 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Living In The Mountain by Mo Shilong. The price achieved of HKD 75,000.00 (€ 7,928.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 60,000.00 – 100,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mo Shilong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 Mai 2021 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Living In The Mountain von Mo Shilong zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 75.000,00 (€ 7.928,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 60.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mo Shilong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Five-character Poem in Cursive Script im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 687.500,00 (€ 79.511,83).
