Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Grapes And Insects by Qi Baishi was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in July 2003. It achieved a price of HKD 95,600.00 (€ 9,956.07), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Qi Baishi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Willows At The Riverside; Begonias in April 2012 with an auction result of HKD 70,100,000.00 (€ 6,830,365.11).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Grapes And Insects von Qi Baishi kam im Juli 2003 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 95.600,00 (€ 9.956,07) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Qi Baishi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Willows At The Riverside; Begonias im April 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 70.100.000,00 (€ 6.830.365,11).
