Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Reunion beside the Autumn River by Sheng Maoye was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 300,000.00 (€ 29,746.35). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sheng Maoye - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Saying Farewell In The Moonlight, which sold at auction in September 2016 for USD 75,000.00 (€ 66,737.85).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Reunion beside the Autumn River von Sheng Maoye im November 2012 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 300.000,00 (€ 29.746,35) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Sheng Maoye mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Saying Farewell In The Moonlight beobachtet, die im September 2016 für USD 75.000,00 (€ 66.737,85) versteigert wurde.
