A top price for Shao Mi
When the work Landscapes after Old Masters by Shao Mi was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 1,000,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 5,060,000.00 (€ 527,117.44). This high result makes Landscapes after Old Masters the most expensive artwork by Shao Mi that we have observed at auctions so far.

Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Landscapes after Old Masters zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Shao Mi, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
