Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Bole and the Fine-bred Horse by Shan Baiqin was auctioned at Bonhams in Hong Kong in October 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 4,845.00 (€ 538.94). Other works by Shan Baiqin have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in May last year by the work Figures at HKD 8,400.00 (€ 997.26).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Bole and the Fine-bred Horse von Shan Baiqin im Oktober 2021 bei Bonhams in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 4.845,00 (€ 538,94) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Shan Baiqin wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres die Arbeit Figures mit HKD 8.400,00 (€ 997,26).
