Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Five Character Couplet In Running Script by Ruan Yuan was auctioned at China Guardian in Hong Kong in March 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 448,400.00 (€ 50,878.30). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ruan Yuan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nine-character Couplet in Running Script, which sold at auction in May 2013 for HKD 1,350,000.00 (€ 133,877.43).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Five Character Couplet In Running Script von Ruan Yuan im März 2019 bei China Guardian in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 448.400,00 (€ 50.878,30) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Ruan Yuan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nine-character Couplet in Running Script beobachtet, die im Mai 2013 für HKD 1.350.000,00 (€ 133.877,43) versteigert wurde.
