Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2014 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century Chinese Art, which included the work Watermelons by Sha Qi. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 160,000.00 – 200,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 162,500.00 (€ 16,729.85) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Sha Qi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Horses In The Forest in April 2014 with an auction result of HKD 1,480,000.00 (€ 137,649.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2014 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century Chinese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Watermelons von Sha Qi zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 160.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 162.500,00 (€ 16.729,85) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sha Qi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Horses In The Forest im April 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.480.000,00 (€ 137.649,60).
