Pan Gongkai was born in Ninghai, Zhejiang Province in 1947. He entered the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts to study Chinese painting in 1978, and since the 1990s he served as the President of the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou and the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Pan is known in China and abroad as an influential artist as well as an art educator.
With the influence of his father, renowned painter Pan Tianshou, Pan was well-learned in traditional Chinese culture as a child but only began his formal training in painting in high school. Lotus is Pan’s favourite motif. His works are expressive and large in format, conveying a presence in image and scale. Pan merges the innate abstractness of the ink and brush genre and his inheritance of the literati tradition to create elegant and contemporary compositions that effectively interact with a
Acquired directly from the artist in the United States, early 1990s.

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Mist and Clouds over Xiaoxiang River by Pan Gongkai was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2020. The price achieved of USD 1,500.00 (€ 1,273.99) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,200.00 – 2,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pan Gongkai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Midsummer Night's Dream in October 2014 with an auction result of HKD 1,725,000.00 (€ 177,593.77).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Mist and Clouds over Xiaoxiang River von Pan Gongkai kam im Juli 2020 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.500,00 (€ 1.273,99) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.200,00 – 2.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pan Gongkai erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Midsummer Night's Dream im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.725.000,00 (€ 177.593,77).
