Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy in Running Script by Sun Wen was worth HKD 102,000.00 (€ 10,758.79) to a buyer in December 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Chinese PaintingsThe Online Sale at Bonhams in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 30,000.00 many times over. 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Calligraphy in Running Script von Sun Wen war einem Käufer im Dezember 2020 HKD 102.000,00 (€ 10.758,79) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Chinese PaintingsThe Online Sale bei Bonhams in Hong Kong erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 30.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. 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).
