Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Birds and Flowers by Pan Gongshou was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2010, 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 six times as high at HKD 375,000.00 (€ 38,958.28). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pan Gongshou - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Landscapes , which sold at auction in September 2015 for USD 162,500.00 (€ 145,583.23).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Birds and Flowers von Pan Gongshou im Mai 2010 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 375.000,00 (€ 38.958,28) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Pan Gongshou mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Landscapes beobachtet, die im September 2015 für USD 162.500,00 (€ 145.583,23) versteigert wurde.
