A top price for Qi Junzao
When the work Calligraphic Couplet in Regular Script by Qi Junzao was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in June 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 93,750.00 (€ 10,768.19). This high result makes Calligraphic Couplet in Regular Script the most expensive artwork by Qi Junzao that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Qi Junzao
Als die Arbeit Calligraphic Couplet in Regular Script von Qi Junzao im Juni 2020 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 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 93.750,00 (€ 10.768,19) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Calligraphic Couplet in Regular Script zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Qi Junzao, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
