A top price for Qin Feng - as previously expected
In November 2015 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Chinese Contemporary Ink, which included the work The Four Seasons by Qin Feng. The auction ended at the price of HKD 2,800,000.00 (€ 341,980.69), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of HKD 1,800,000.00 – 2,800,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Four Seasons is the most expensive artwork by Qin Feng that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2015 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Chinese Contemporary Ink durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Four Seasons von Qin Feng zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von HKD 2.800.000,00 (€ 341.980,69) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 1.800.000,00 – 2.800.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Four Seasons das teuerste Kunstwerk von Qin Feng, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
