Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Rong Geng achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in February 2021. In the Dawn of Spring: Chinese Paintings Online auction, the work Calligraphy In Bronze Script sold for HKD 50,000.00 (€ 5,329.53) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 22,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rong Geng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Scholar Fishing, which sold at auction in May 2017 for HKD 141,600.00 (€ 16,168.81).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Rong Geng erzielte im Februar 2021 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Dawn of Spring: Chinese Paintings Online wurde die Arbeit Calligraphy In Bronze Script für HKD 50.000,00 (€ 5.329,53) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 22.000,00.
