Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Sun Wen achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2017. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy auction, the work Calligraphy In Regular Script sold for USD 27,500.00 (€ 25,705.74) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sun Wen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphy in April last year with an auction result of HKD 4,536,000.00 (€ 548,435.42).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Sun Wen erzielte im März 2017 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy wurde die Arbeit Calligraphy In Regular Script für USD 27.500,00 (€ 25.705,74) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sun Wen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Calligraphy im April letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 4.536.000,00 (€ 548.435,42).
