Auction result misses estimated price range
In March last year a collector was able to acquire the work Birds and Flowers, 1903 by Sha Fu for USD 1,530.00 (€ 1,379.25). This price was achieved in the auction The Reverend Richard Fabian Collection of Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy, Part V The Online Sale at Bonhams in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,500.00 – 4,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Sha Fu have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Figures After Old Masters in September 2018 with an auction result of USD 10,000.00 (€ 8,604.37).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im März letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Birds and Flowers, 1903 von Sha Fu für USD 1.530,00 (€ 1.379,25) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Reverend Richard Fabian Collection of Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy, Part V The Online Sale bei Bonhams in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.500,00 – 4.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sha Fu auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Figures After Old Masters im September 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 10.000,00 (€ 8.604,37).
