Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April 2001 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction FINE MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY CHINESE PAINTINGS, which included the work Journey To The West by Shi Dawei. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 49,350.00 (€ 7,129.45), 23% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Shi Dawei have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Joyous Gathering in May 2009 with an auction result of HKD 400,000.00 (€ 36,528.39).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April 2001 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion FINE MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY CHINESE PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Journey To The West von Shi Dawei zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 49.350,00 (€ 7.129,45) und damit 23% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Shi Dawei auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Joyous Gathering im Mai 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 400.000,00 (€ 36.528,39).
