Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Calligraphic Couplet by Sun Xingge was sold in the Fine Chinese Modern Paintings auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 10,000.00 – 20,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 12,500.00 (€ 1,444.77) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sun Xingge achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Plants in May 2014 with an auction result of HKD 375,000.00 (€ 35,465.54).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Calligraphic Couplet von Sun Xingge wurde im Mai 2016 in der Auktion Fine Chinese Modern Paintings bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 10.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 12.500,00 (€ 1.444,77) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sun Xingge erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Plants im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 375.000,00 (€ 35.465,54).
