Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Summer Reverie By The Lotus Pond by Qiu Ying was sold in the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings auction at Sothebys in New York in September 2012. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 750,000.00 – 1,500,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 842,500.00 (€ 655,336.03) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Qiu Ying have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Celestial Mountains and Pavilions in June this year with an auction result of HKD 31,230,000.00 (€ 3,649,219.78).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Summer Reverie By The Lotus Pond von Qiu Ying wurde im September 2012 in der Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 750.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 842.500,00 (€ 655.336,03) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Qiu Ying auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Celestial Mountains and Pavilions im Juni diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 31.230.000,00 (€ 3.649.219,78).
