In September 2015 Sothebys in New York held the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy, which included the work Calligraphy Couplet In Seal Script by Mo Youzhi. The »bidding war« ended at USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,719.23), 50% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mo Youzhi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hexagram Of Modesty In Seal Script Calligraphy in October 2014 with an auction result of HKD 1,416,000.00 (€ 145,781.32).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im September 2015 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Calligraphy Couplet In Seal Script von Mo Youzhi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 7.500,00 (€ 6.719,23) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mo Youzhi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hexagram Of Modesty In Seal Script Calligraphy im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.416.000,00 (€ 145.781,32).
