Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work View of the Tamsui River, Formosa by Ran In-Ting was auctioned at Bonhams in London in February 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,805.00 (€ 3,235.04). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ran In-Ting achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Fishing Boats by the Misty River in May 2010 with an auction result of HKD 800,000.00 (€ 83,111.00).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit View of the Tamsui River, Formosa von Ran In-Ting im Februar 2021 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.805,00 (€ 3.235,04) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ran In-Ting erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Fishing Boats by the Misty River im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 800.000,00 (€ 83.111,00).
