Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Trading Geese with Calligraphy 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 1,402.50 (€ 156.01). Admittedly, works by Shan Baiqin 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 in May last year with an auction result of HKD 8,400.00 (€ 997.26).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Trading Geese with Calligraphy 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 1.402,50 (€ 156,01) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Shan Baiqin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Figures im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 8.400,00 (€ 997,26).
