Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Calligraphy in Running Script by Shen Deqian was auctioned at Christies in December 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 87,500.00 (€ 9,911.20). Admittedly, works by Shen Deqian have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Couplet In Running Script in April this year with an auction result of HKD 54,000.00 (€ 55,144.57).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Calligraphy in Running Script von Shen Deqian im Dezember 2021 bei Christies versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 87.500,00 (€ 9.911,20) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Shen Deqian auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Couplet In Running Script im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 54.000,00 (€ 55.144,57).
